Over 15 years ago I read Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." It had a profound effect on my life. It helped me to grow in areas that I had not attempted to and made me view things in a different manner. I have never had a friend that I have not gave this book to as a gift. In his book, "Principle Centered Leadership," Covey list the 7 habits of ineffective people:1. Be reactive: doubt yourself and blame others.
2. Work without any clear end in mind.
3. Do the urgent thing first.
4. Think win/lose.
5. Seek first to be understood.
6. If you can't win, compromise.
7. Fear change and put off improvement.
