Habits 4-6 collectively graded
Habit 4: “Think Win-Win.” Using anonymity, identify a list of obstacles (persons, places, or things) that keep you in your negative behavior pattern in the Journal on Covey’s book. Determine what can be done in your “Circle of Influence” to eliminate obstacles to facilitate your positive behavior/attribute.
Habit 5: “Seek First to Understand and then to be Understood.” Approach the persons, places, or things that are obstacles to your positive attribute. Put yourself in their position/shoes, and describe why these persons, places, or things are obstacles to your growth.
Habit 6: “Synergize.” Once you have explored the point of view and the reason the persons, place, or thing is an obstacle, identify how you might collaborate together to build on the difference.
Habit 7: “Sharpen the Saw.” Prioritize the actions you have identified that must be accomplished to build upon and change the negative trait to a positive trait. Begin with the top priority action, if you have not done so already. How have you been renewed?
