Whenever I walk into a traditional bookshop or webstore or browse an ebook store and when I see the book titled “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” written by Stephen R. Covey, it brings me back to my early days of my career. I participated in a workshop with the same title as the book and I still remember the impact it had on my career. It helped me become more effective and efficient and I was promoted 3 times within 5 years.
Just to recap the 7 Habits which are:
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win/Win
5. Seek First To Understand … Then To Be Understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw
