Seven habits of Covey

First I read a book about marketing how can you find the strongest and weakness from a company. I already read that book and after it understand that I need to read something about innovation of what can help you in the group. So the next book that I read was about collaborate and self-education.

The name is the seven habits of covey. This book is very interesting because the main subject is find your self and your personality. The second big subject is about collaborating. What is the way to work with different kind of people.

The seven habits of Covey is very important for yourself. It helps you to find out what you want. It is not only about yourself but also about other people. How can you help them and when can you say what you want and when do you need to listen. It is about yourself and what you learnt, what are your values and how can you use them. It is also about how can you take care on yourself or how can you relief something with a group.

The first habit is Proactive. You look to yourself what did I good or fault. Say I to many or to less. Do I help my group or irritating them.

Second habit is about what do you want to do with your live. You need to get your own mission statement in your mind. A aim for your future. This one is very important with school. Is the study what you are doing at this moment what you want or is there something ells. Do you like the courses that you follow or is het required? The biggest question is what is what I want.

Habit 1 and 2 gives you a impression about yourself. This is the first steps and very important.

Habit 3 is about do first all the important things. If you did that than you can think on a other thing. Step for step and choice the most important thins first.

Habit 4 is important for more people. If you work with other people think not only on yourself. You need to think in the term win- win. It need to be great for everybody.

Habit 5, 6 and 7 is about working together. Is part is very important for the course Lean Inno. You work with different kind of people and different cultures. Everybody works method is different. The important point is that you try do understand somebody. Your meaning can be different but try to understand somebody and than can you say what you want to say.

Brainstorm not alone and not only your idea is good. Think in different ways and stay open for an other idea. Know what something is thinking and be interesting. It is all about synergy. It keeps your motivation high.

Covey gives al lot of examples in this book about his own live. He use his family and him self. There are a lot of mission in this book so you can practice by your own.

This book was for my very interesting because I learn more about myself.
