The document summarizes the 7 habits of highly effective people from Stephen Covey's book. It discusses that habits have a strong pull and breaking habits allows more freedom. The 7 habits are: 1) be proactive by focusing on what you can influence, 2) begin with the end in mind by ensuring your actions align with your values, 3) put first things first by prioritizing important tasks, 4) think win-win by finding solutions where all parties win, 5) seek first to understand others before being understood, 6) synergize by combining ideas for greater outcomes, and 7) sharpen the saw through continuous self-improvement.
Influence strategies for practitioners - Linda RisingAgileSparks
You’ve tried and tried to convince people of your position. You’ve laid out your logical arguments on impressive PowerPoint slides—but you are still not able to sway them. Cognitive scientists understand that the approach you are taking is rarely successful. Often you must speak to others’ subconscious motivators rather than their rational, analytic side. Linda Rising shares influence strategies that you can use to more effectively convince others to see things your way. These strategies take advantage of a number of hardwired traits: “liking”—we like people who are like us; “reciprocity”—we repay in kind; “social proof”—we follow the lead of others similar to us; “consistency”—we align ourselves with our previous commitments; “authority”—we defer to authority figures; and “scarcity”—we want more of something when there is less to be had. Learn how to build on these traits as a way of bringing others to your side. Use this valuable toolkit in addition to the logical left-brain techniques on which we depend.
CHANGE STARTS WITHIN ! "Inside-Out" approach to effectiveness which is based on principles and characters. Personality ethic shifts to character ethic.
Though Steve Covey wrote the book the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People many years ago, the principles in this book are timeless, and worth revisiting. I've put up a presentation which reviews the main principles in this book.

A thought occurred to me on my journey to my hometown. When I stood as a third person to analyze my thought magic happened; I realized that what occurred to me is common as an individual. I asked these questions to me:
1. What happens when an Adversity strikes?
2. Do we really have the power to overcome this?
3. What do we do to control this?
4. Can a solution to an outcome be applied to all?
These were some of the basic questions which struck me while I was penning down my thoughts on writing this book.
