The Blockage Concept
 We Can Define “Blockage” as a factor that inhibits
the potential and output of a system
 All Executives have the potential to develop and to
expand their effectiveness, but for many reasons
some apparent, others lost in the mists of time,
they have areas of underdeveloped competencies.
 These underdeveloped competencies are called
“Blockage”
Instructions
 The Blockage survey shall provide a framework for
systematically assessing personal strengths as well
as blockages to manage things effectively.
 You are given 110 statements that describe
strengths you may or may not have as executive.
 Read each statement and, if you feel it is true for
you, mark “X” in the appropriate numbered square
on the Answer Grid Sheet provided to you.
 After you finish that, total no of “X” in each
column.

Self Development: What it is?
 It is a term for a growing family of
approaches which give the individual control
over the process and tasks of his or her own
development.
 It is also taking primary responsibility for
diagnosing need and choosing the goals for
development and for evaluating the results.
Self Development: What Is It?
 Self-development means at least two things:
 It is a BY-SELF process where the individual takes the
prime responsibility for initiating and managing their
own development
 It is an OF-SELF process in which the Individual as a
person grows in his / her ability and willingness to take
control over and responsibility for events and
particularly for their development.
Some Important Dimensions of

Habit 4
Habit 5
Habit 6
Habit 7
Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective
People
HABIT 1: BE PROACTIVE
INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Be Reactive
 Reactive people don’t
take responsibility for
their own lives. They
feel victimized, a
product of
circumstances, their
past, and other people.
They do not see as the
creative force of their
lives.
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Be Proactive
 Proactive people take
responsibility for their
own lives. They
determine the agendas
they will follow and
choose their response
to what happens
around them.
HABIT 2: BEGIN WITH END IN MIND
INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Begin with No End in Mind
 These people don’t have a
clear understanding of
their destination. They find
themselves achieving
victories that are empty.
They forget the fact that
without involvement there
is no commitment.
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Begin with the End in Mind
 These people use personal
vision, correct principles,
and their deep sense of
personal meaning to
accomplish tasks in a
positive and effective way.
They live life based on
self-chosen values and are
guided by their personal
mission statement.
HABIT 3: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Put Second Things First
 These people are crisis
managers who are unable
to stay focused on high-
leverage tasks because of
their preoccupation with
circumstances, their past,
or other people. They are
caught up in the “thick of
thin things” and are driven
by the urgent.
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Put First Things First
 These people exercise
discipline, and they plan
and execute according to
priorities. They also “walk
their talk” and spend
significant time in
Quadrant II.
HABIT 4: THINK WIN-WIN
INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Think Win-Lose or Lose-Win
 These people have a
scarcity mentality and see
life as a zero-sum game.
They have ineffective
communication skills and
low trust levels in their
Emotional Bank Accounts
with others, resulting in a
defensive mentality and
adversarial feelings.
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Think Win-Win
 These people have an
abundance mentality and
the spirit of cooperation.
They achieve effective
communication and high
trust levels in their
Emotional Bank Accounts
with others, resulting in
rewarding relationships
and greater power to
influence.
HABIT 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be
Understood
INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Seek First to Be
Understood
 These people put forth
their point of view based
solely on their auto-
biography and motives,
without attempting to
understand others first.
They blindly prescribe
without first diagnosing the
problem.
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
 Through perceptive
observation and empathic
listening, these non-
judgmental people are
intent on learning the
needs, interests, and
concerns of others. They
are then able to
courageously state their
own needs and wants.
HABIT 6: SYNERGIZE
INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Compromise, Fight, or
Flight
 Ineffective people
believe the whole is
less than the sum of
the parts. They try to
“clone” other people in
their own image.
Differences in others
are looked upon as
threats
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Synergize
 Effective people know
that the whole is
greater than the sum
of the parts. They
value and benefit from
differences in others,
which results in
creative cooperation
and team-work.
HABIT 7: SHARPEN THE SAW
INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Wear Out the Saw
 Ineffective people fall
back, lose their
interest, and get
disordered. They lack a
program of self-
renewal and self-
improvement and
eventually lose the
cutting edge they once
had.
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
 Sharpen the Saw
 Effective people are
involved in self-
renewal and self-
improvement in the
physical, mental,
spiritual, and social-
emotional areas, which
enhance all areas off
their life and nurture
the other six habits.
Everyone has a will to win
but very few have
the will to prepare to win

 A Well functioning Team - McGregor’s Description of the
Creative Team
 Structure Influencing Team working
Introductory Thought
 The aerospace engineers have calculated the
trajectory—a straight shot to the moon. The
team members have been selected
carefully—only those who have the right stuff
will go on this mission. Each one has trained
incessantly. And, now, waiting nervously on
the launch pad, they are about to embark on
a critical phase of their journey—take-off.
But still other phases await them after that—
orbit, landing, exploration, another takeoff,
and the dramatic conclusion of their joint
mission, reentry. To negotiate these phases
successfully, the team members must
thoroughly understand what lies ahead.
Learnings from Thought
 So it is with our work team. To
successfully negotiate the
predictable passages or stages of
team building, team members
need to know what to expect-and
how to handle it.

Story of Geese
Geese heading south for the winter fly along in the
"V" formation. It has been learned that as each bird
flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird
immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation,
the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying
range than if each bird flew on its own.
Story of Geese Learning # 1
 People who are part of a team and share
a common direction get where they are
going quicker and easier, because they are
traveling on the trust of one another and lift
each other up along the way.
Story of Geese
 Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it
suddenly feels the drag and resistance of
trying to go through it alone and quickly gets
back into formation to take advantage of the
power of the flock.
Story of Geese Learning # 2
 If we have as much sense as a goose, we
will stay in formation and share information
with those who are headed the same way
that we are going
When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates
back in the wing and another goose takes
over.
Lesson:
 It pays to share leadership and take turns
doing hard jobs.
Story of Geese
 The geese honk from behind to encourage
those up front to keep their speed.
Story of Geese Learning # 3
 Words of support and inspiration help energize
those on the front line, helping them to keep pace
in spite of the day-to-day pressures and fatigue. It
is important that our honking be encouraging.
Otherwise it's just - well honking!
Story of Geese
 Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by a
gunshot and falls out, two geese fall out of the
formation and follow the injured one down to help
and protect him. They stay with him until he is
either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they
launch out with another formation to catch up with
their group.
Story of Geese Learning # 4
When one of us is down, it's up to the others
to stand by us in our time of trouble. If we
have the sense of a goose, we will stand by
each other when things get rough. We will
stay in formation with those headed where
we want to go.
IT IS A REWARD, A CHALLENGE AND A
PRIVILEGE to be a contributing
member of a TEAM.
Thank You

  • 32. PARADIGM SHIFTS A BREAK FROM TRADITIONAL WISDOM TOWARD 7 HABITS PRINCIPLES Habit 1 We are a product of our environment and upbringing. Habit 2 Society is the source of our values. Habit 3 Reactive to the tyranny of the urgent. Acted upon by the environment. Habit 4 Win-lose. One-sided benefit. Habit 5 Fight, flight, or compromise when faced with conflict. Habit 6 Differences are threats. Independence is the highest value. Unity means sameness. Habit 7 Entropy. Burnout on one track - typically work. We are a product of our choices to our environment and upbringing. Values are self-chosen and provide foundation for decision making. Values flow out of principles. Actions flow from that which is important. Win-win. Mutual benefit. Communication solves problems. Differences are values and are opportunities for synergy. Continuous self-renewal and self- improvement.

They find themselves achieving victories that are empty. They forget the fact that without involvement there is no commitment. EFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Begin with the End in Mind  These people use personal vision, correct principles, and their deep sense of personal meaning to accomplish tasks in a positive and effective way. They live life based on self-chosen values and are guided by their personal mission statement.
  • 37. HABIT 3: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Put Second Things First  These people are crisis managers who are unable to stay focused on high- leverage tasks because of their preoccupation with circumstances, their past, or other people. They are caught up in the “thick of thin things” and are driven by the urgent. EFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Put First Things First  These people exercise discipline, and they plan and execute according to priorities. They also “walk their talk” and spend significant time in Quadrant II.

They have ineffective communication skills and low trust levels in their Emotional Bank Accounts with others, resulting in a defensive mentality and adversarial feelings. EFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Think Win-Win  These people have an abundance mentality and the spirit of cooperation. They achieve effective communication and high trust levels in their Emotional Bank Accounts with others, resulting in rewarding relationships and greater power to influence.
  • 39. HABIT 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Seek First to Be Understood  These people put forth their point of view based solely on their auto- biography and motives, without attempting to understand others first. They blindly prescribe without first diagnosing the problem. EFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood  Through perceptive observation and empathic listening, these non- judgmental people are intent on learning the needs, interests, and concerns of others. They are then able to courageously state their own needs and wants.
  • 40. HABIT 6: SYNERGIZE INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Compromise, Fight, or Flight  Ineffective people believe the whole is less than the sum of the parts. They try to “clone” other people in their own image. Differences in others are looked upon as threats EFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Synergize  Effective people know that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. They value and benefit from differences in others, which results in creative cooperation and team-work.
  • 41. HABIT 7: SHARPEN THE SAW INEFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Wear Out the Saw  Ineffective people fall back, lose their interest, and get disordered. They lack a program of self- renewal and self- improvement and eventually lose the cutting edge they once had. EFFECTIVE PEOPLE  Sharpen the Saw  Effective people are involved in self- renewal and self- improvement in the physical, mental, spiritual, and social- emotional areas, which enhance all areas off their life and nurture the other six habits.

  • 70. Introductory Thought  The aerospace engineers have calculated the trajectory—a straight shot to the moon. The team members have been selected carefully—only those who have the right stuff will go on this mission. Each one has trained incessantly. And, now, waiting nervously on the launch pad, they are about to embark on a critical phase of their journey—take-off. But still other phases await them after that— orbit, landing, exploration, another takeoff, and the dramatic conclusion of their joint mission, reentry. To negotiate these phases successfully, the team members must thoroughly understand what lies ahead.

  • 85. Story of Geese Geese heading south for the winter fly along in the "V" formation. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
  • 86. Story of Geese Learning # 1  People who are part of a team and share a common direction get where they are going quicker and easier, because they are traveling on the trust of one another and lift each other up along the way.
  • 87. Story of Geese  Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the power of the flock.
  • 88. Story of Geese Learning # 2  If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation and share information with those who are headed the same way that we are going
  • 89. When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose takes over. Lesson:  It pays to share leadership and take turns doing hard jobs.
  • 90. Story of Geese  The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed.
  • 91. Story of Geese Learning # 3  Words of support and inspiration help energize those on the front line, helping them to keep pace in spite of the day-to-day pressures and fatigue. It is important that our honking be encouraging. Otherwise it's just - well honking!
  • 92. Story of Geese  Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by a gunshot and falls out, two geese fall out of the formation and follow the injured one down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they launch out with another formation to catch up with their group.
  • 93. Story of Geese Learning # 4 When one of us is down, it's up to the others to stand by us in our time of trouble. If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other when things get rough. We will stay in formation with those headed where we want to go.
  • 94. IT IS A REWARD, A CHALLENGE AND A PRIVILEGE to be a contributing member of a TEAM.
