Takes independent action --Implements new ideas or potential solutions without prompting; does not wait for others to take action or to request action. Goes above and beyond --Takes action that goes beyond job requirements in order to achieve objectives.
Habit 6: Synergize. “ Animal school” Once upon a time, the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of a “New World”, so they organized a school.  They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming, and flying.  To make it easier to administer, all animals took all the subjects. In the end, the duck’s web feet were so badly worn that he couldn’t swim, the rabbit had a nervous breakdown and couldn’t run, the eagle was disciplined severely for getting to the top of the tree without climbing, and an abnormal eel ended up doing best overall and winning valedictorian.    What are your unique gifts?  What talents do you need from others?    What qualities often seem like a disadvantage, but are necessary?    How do you contact or talk with people, if you are shy? (Carnegie)

Homework … Establish your “big rocks” – the important changes, not just the urgent. 1  Decide that you CAN in fact change your life. 2  Get away one weekend with a pen and pad of paper. Write down what you HOPE for in life, and what you feel called towards (e.g., family, work, opera). If you don’t know … talk with friends or family. If you don’t know … try things!  Athletics, service, camping, animal rights, politics, research. If you don’t know … read biographies and newspapers.  If you don’t know … look at  http:// www.dosomething.org/index.cfm . Plan toward your vision. 3  Record how you spend a typical week … then decide how well it matches your vision.   Use a daily planner (e.g., a date book, a Palm) to plan by weeks, focusing on today.   If in a rut, find a small victory and win it. Sharpen the saw. mental: Learn a hobby (e.g., chess, golf, piano), or about people (Mars & Venus, Dale Carnegie) physical: Exercise, eat right, sleep. social: Find friends with whom you can share your deepest struggles, biggest triumphs, most guarded weaknesses and fears. spiritual: Good versus evil questions are the biggest you’ll face.

They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming, and flying. To make it easier to administer, all animals took all the subjects. In the end, the duck’s web feet were so badly worn that he couldn’t swim, the rabbit had a nervous breakdown and couldn’t run, the eagle was disciplined severely for getting to the top of the tree without climbing, and an abnormal eel ended up doing best overall and winning valedictorian.  What are your unique gifts?

Write down what you HOPE for in life, and what you feel called towards (e.g., family, work, opera). If you don’t know … talk with friends or family. If you don’t know … try things! Athletics, service, camping, animal rights, politics, research. If you don’t know … read biographies and newspapers. If you don’t know … look at http:// www.dosomething.org/index.cfm . Plan toward your vision. 3 Record how you spend a typical week … then decide how well it matches your vision. Use a daily planner (e.g., a date book, a Palm) to plan by weeks, focusing on today. If in a rut, find a small victory and win it. Sharpen the saw. mental: Learn a hobby (e.g., chess, golf, piano), or about people (Mars & Venus, Dale Carnegie) physical: Exercise, eat right, sleep. social: Find friends with whom you can share your deepest struggles, biggest triumphs, most guarded weaknesses and fears. spiritual: Good versus evil questions are the biggest you’ll face.

Notas del editor

  1. 1 . Be Proactive. You are responsible for your life. Decide what you should do & get on with it. 2. Begin with the End in Mind. Think of how you want to be remembered at the end of your life. Use this as a basis for your everyday behavior. 3. Put First Things First. Devote more time to what's important but not necessarily urgent. 4. Think Win-Win. Have an "abundance" mentality. Seek solutions that benefit all parties involved. 5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. Don't dive into a conversation. Listen until you truly understand the other person. 6. Synergize. Find ways to cooperate with everyone. Value the differences among people. 7. Sharpen the Saw. Continually exercise and renew four elements of yourself: physical, mental, emotional/ social, and spiritual. B. Inside Out Again
  2. 2. Begin with the End in Mind. Think of how you want to be remembered at the end of your life. Use this as a basis for your everyday behavior. Two creators: the mind and then the action
  3. By Design or Default There is a first creation to every part of our lives. We are either the second creation of our own proactive creation, or we are the second creation of other people's agendas, of circumstances, or of past habits.
  4. Habit 2 is based on principles of personal leadership, which means that leadership is the first creation. Management is the second creation.  *Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things.  *Often people get into managing with efficiency, setting and achieving goals before they have even clarified values. 
  5. Rescripting: Becoming Your Own First Creator Proactivity is based on the endowment of self-awareness. Two additional endowments enable us to expand our proactivity and to exercise personal leadership in our lives:   * imagination allows to visualize our potential  * conscience allows us to develop our talents within the context of principles and personal guidelines. 
  6. A Personal Mission Statement The most effective way to begin with the end in mind is to develop a personal mission statement.  * The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about, and what you value.  * Once you have a sense of mission, you have the essence of your own proactivity; the vision and values which direct your life, the basic direction from which you set your goals.  Example: The United States Constitution
  7. At the Center * Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power.  What is at the center of your life?   Alternative Centers * Spouse centeredness  * Family centeredness  * Money centeredness  * Work centeredness  * Possession centeredness  * Pleasure centeredness  * Friend/enemy centeredness  * Church centeredness  * Self centeredness  A Principle Center * Our lives need to be centered on correct principles -- deep, fundamental truths, classic truths, generic common denominators.  * As a principle centered person, you try stand apart from the emotions of situations and from other factors to evaluate options.   When these four factors are present, it creates a noble personality a balanced character & a beautifully integrated individual
