BEGINS WITH THE FIRST STEP
The way we see the problem is the problem
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were when we created the problem
PROBLEM
Aesop’s fable of the goose and the golden egg
P = PRODUCTION (production of desired results-the golden eggs)
PC = PRODUCTION CAPABILITY (the ability or asset that produces the golden eggs-the goose)
Lack of “P/PC BALANCE”
The 7 Habits Paradigm
PARADIGMParadigm = model, example
For Ptolemy, the Earth was the centre of universe. But Copernicus created a paradigm shift by placing the Sun at the centre of universe
Paradigm shifts move us from one way of seeing the world to another
India today is the fruit of paradigm shift. It had been under the kings’ rule for over centuries. Then a different paradigm developed- government of the people, for the people, by the people
HABITS
HABIT 1
BE PROACTIVEBE PROACTIVE
PROACTIVE=step up and do something to solve a problem before it becomes an issue
Being reactive is described as reacting to stimulus without thinking. Animals behave like this.
Being proactive means that unlike animals, humans are able to create a pause between stimulus and response. It is during this pause that humans can choose their response. The response you choose is based on your character development. The better your character is developed, the better your response will be
Proactive people- don’t blame circumstances, conditions or conditioning of their behavior
Reactive people- affected by their social environment, by the “social weather.” When people treat them well, they feel well; when people don’t, they become defensive or protective. Reactive people build their emotional lives around the behavior of others, empowering the weaknesses of other people to control them
REACTIVE LANGUAGE PROACTIVE LANGUAGEThere’s nothing I can do Let’s look at our alternatives
That’s just the way I am I can choose a different approach
He makes me so mad I control my own feelings
They won’t allow that I can create an effective presentation
I have to do that I will choose an appropriate response

HABIT 2
BEGIN WITH THEEND IN MIND
BEGIN WITH THEEND IN MIND
BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND = start with a clear understanding of your destinationBased on the principle that all things are created twice:
(i) Mental or first creation(ii) Physical or second creation
Leadership is the first creation; Management is the second creation.Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall
IDENTIFYING YOUR CENTRE
Almost all of the world-class athletes and other peak performers are visualizers. They see it; they feel it; they experience it before they actually do it. TheyBEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND!!!

HABIT 4
THINK WIN / WINTHINK WIN / WIN
PARADIGMS OF HUMAN
INTERACTION1. Win /
Lose2. Lose /
Win3. Lose /
Lose4. Win5. Win /
Win
1. Win/Lose: I get my way; you don’t get yours. Most people have been in this mentality since birth.
2. Lose/Win: I lose; you win. Such people are usually quick to please.
3. Lose/Lose: I lose; you lose. This results when two or more determined, stubborn, ego-invested individuals interact.
4. Win: People of this attitude don’t necessarily want to lose. A person with the Win mentality thinks in terms of securing his own ends—and leaving it to others to secure theirs.
5. Win/Win: It’s not your way or my way; it’s a better way, a higher way.
WHICH OPTION IS BEST
It depends !!!
Most situations, in fact, are part of an interdependent reality, and then Win/Win is really the only viable

hear)Attentive listening, without evaluation
(taking lecturer notes)Emphatic listening (with intent to understand the other party) - DON’T think of how you are going to respond when listening.The more deeply we understand other people, the more we appreciate them, the more reverent we feel about them.

SYNERGY simply means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Its all about TEAM WORK !!
LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION
Is it logical that two people can disagree and that both can be right?
It’s not logical: it’s psychological. And it’s very real…
Some see the young lady; some see the old woman. We’re all looking at the same picture, and both of us are right. We see the same black lines, the same white spaces. But we interpret them differently because we’ve been conditioned to interpret them differently.
Knowing that the picture can be seen in different ways is SYNERGY
SHARPEN THE SAWSHARPEN THE SAW
HABIT 7
Taking time to sharpen the saw is a Quadrant II activity
Personal P/PC must be pressed upon
This is the single most powerful investment we can ever make in life—investment in ourselves, in the only instrument we have with which to deal with life and to contribute. We are the instruments of our own performance, and to be effective, we need to recognize the importance of taking time regularly to sharpen the saw in all four ways
Even in the Bible’s TEN COMMANDMENTS, there is a commandment to rest one day in seven
