THE 7 HABITS OF INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE

There is no book that has profoundly altered my think more than Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Yet in his book, “Principle-Centered Leadership,” his brother shares the seven 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.
