8 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R. CoveyHaseebEjaz
Our character is a composite of our habits. Changing habits is hard, but can be done by tremendous commitment.
A (good) habit can be defined as the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire. Change is a cycle of being and seeing (visualization).
Our objective is to move progressively on a maturity continuum from dependence to independence to interdependence. Although independence is the current paradigm of our society, we can accomplish much more by cooperation and specialization. However, we must achieve independence before we can choose interdependence.
Habits 1, 2 and 3 (Be Proactive, Begin with The End in Mind, Put First Things First) deal with self mastery. They are the "private victories" required for character growth. Private victories precede public victories.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are the more personality-oriented "public victories" of Teamwork, Cooperation and Communication.
Habit 7 is the habit of Renewal, creating an upward spiral of growth.
Effectiveness lies in balancing our Production (P) with building Production Capacity (PC).
Organizationally, the PC principle is to always treat your employees as you want them to treat your best customers. We must understand that the best contributions of our employees - their hearts and minds - are as volunteers, because they want to.
This process of growth will be evolutionary, but the net effect will be revolutionary.
While working as interns, we were tasked with the project of collecting different leadership games to be used for a leadership camp of high school students.

perceives, understands,

mental map.
39. Breaking Paradigms
Paradigms Change
If we want significative changes, first we need to change our
paradigms. According to Thomas Kuhn, almost evert advance
in science is first a break with the tradition, the old ways of
thinking or old paradigms.
Example of breakings.
Think about a moment of your life when you experimented a Change
of Paradigm.

4)What did you learn that make you change the paradigm?
5)How affected your life this change of paradigms?
6)What conditions contributes to changes of Paradigms?
40. The way we see others
The Self-Fulfilled prophecy
Our paradigms or perceptions about the others (and
ourselves), influence the way we treat them, so, if we think
someone is not able we tend to help and protect him.
Worried about the failure, we may deny to that person the
opportunities we give to others.
Think about a person whose conduct worried you in a certain moment.
Answer the question related to that person.
2)What do you believe about this person, that could limitate or stop the
relationship?
3)How an non exact or non complete paradigm could influence your conduct?
4)Your paradigm and conduct to him, could be part of the problem?
5)Considering it’s possible your paradigm is non exact… How could you
change your beliefs and thought about this person for a more exact reflextion
of its potential?

Editor's Notes
Reactive Behavior Reactive people allow outside influences (moods, feelings or circumstances) to control their responses. Theories of Determinism Reactive people blame their attitude and behavior on things they think they cannot control. They respond to stimulus, often attributing their behavior to three determinants : Genetic - Traits we inherited Psychic - Our upbringing Environmental - Our surroundings
The Four Human Endowments Self-Awareness – Examining thoughts, moods and behaviors Imagination – Visualizing beyond experience and present reality (work on alternatives) Conscience – Understanding right and wrong and following personal integrity Independent Will – Acting independent of external influence
