7-Habits Workshop

"We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit"

(Aristotle)

7-Habits Experience...

Last week, i had an opportunity to join an amazing and popular 3-days 7-Habits workshop in Ciawi Bogor. The program licensed to Franklin Covey Indonesia, Dunamis which sole-partner to deliver the Covey's Leadership Programs. It was inspiring workshop, though I've read the book 10 years ago when i was in high school. It just like to refresh success principles that might be forgotten by our daily buzzling life.

At a flash, 7-habits taught us that to be success we have to start it from our thought, paradigm, the way we see. And basically we are all always depend to other people, that's why dependence become the basic point that how habits 1 to 7 can change us to become independence with out private victory and become interdependence when we gain our public victory when we are relating with people.

In brief points, 7-Habits consists of habit to (1)Be Proactive, (2)Begin with The End in Mind, (3)Put First Things First
Becoming these 3 first habits effectively within us, you will be an independence person. And the habits will bring you to Personal Victory.

Personal victory is necessary but not sufficient to become a highly effective people. Therefore there are 3 more habits to within us, (4)Think Win-Win, (5)Seek First to Understand than to be Understood and (6)Synergize. These 3 habits are needed when we are interacting with other people. When the habits have been internalized within you, interdependence is a part of your personality. Then the Public Victory being yours.
Last but not least. People need to having rest to restore their energy of life. An effective person is the one who always upgrade their 'production capability' instead of 'production' in term of volume. This habit what is called (7)Sharpen The Saw.

By implementing the 7-habits within your life time by time, you will become an effective person personally and interpersonally.
