Seven Habits

Finally management found the truth :) - I AM NOT EFFECTIVE. Result - I am packed off to 3 day session on 7 HABITS of Highly Effective people.

Pleasant surprise was in waiting for me on DAY ONE - an amazing workbook on 7 Habits, a TALKING STICK , a 7 Habits card , A DVD of habits & Audio CD of Mr. Covey talking about the habits !!!!!!!. I was just stunned - since when did my company hand out such well made workbooks ??????

As far as the training - it impressed me very much. It neatly packaged. Ours was a signature program where we discuss about the habits and how it is applicable to our everyday life. Though most of the discussions still center around attrition and compensation. I think I am now too tired to talk about those 2 diseases !

Oh I didnt say what the 7 Habits are :
1. Proactive - Habit of Choice
2. Begin with an End in Mind - Habit of Vision
3. Put First things first - Habit of Integrity and Execution
4. Think Win-Win - Habit of Mutual Benefit
5. Seek first to Understand and then to be understood - HAbit of Mutual Understanding
6. Synergize - Habit of Creative Co-Operation
7. Sharpen the Saw - Habit of Renewal

I will expand this article more ...but now , am off to the training ..last day :) -and I am clearly excited about it :)
