This presentation summarizes Stephen Covey's book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" which outlines seven principles for personal effectiveness. The habits are divided into private victory habits of self-mastery and public victory habits of interpersonal mastery. Habit 1 is to be proactive in choosing responses based on values rather than conditions. Habit 2 is to begin with the end in mind by envisioning a goal and working backwards. Habit 3 is to put first things first by prioritizing important tasks.
