The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephan R. Covey

This book was written in 1989 by Stephen R. Covey and has sold over 15 million copies. In this book, you will learn that effective and successful people have seven habits that have formed the basis for their success. These habits can be developed by anyone and you don't naturally need to have these traits. You can teach yourself.
Habit 1: Be proactive

Sometimes things happen in our lives that we cannot always influence. What we can determine, however, is how we respond to that.

Habit 2: Start with a clear goal
-
It's all about getting a clear picture and understanding what your goal is. You then know where you are going so you can understand where you are so you know what steps to take to move on in the right direction.
Habit 3: Set Priorities
-
When you have an eye on what things are important, plan your time so that your important things get the time they deserve. This does require good time management. Make a schedule for each week and set a goal in those seven days for each role you fulfill. Schedule another week after that week.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win Situations
-
Look for solutions that benefit all parties. A solution that benefits everyone is the best solution.

Habit 5: Understand first, then try to be understood
-
Try to listen before you respond. People are often so convinced that they are right that they no longer listen carefully and are no longer susceptible to the opinions and insights of others. Listen for the purpose of understanding the other person.
Habit 6: Be synergistic
-
Embrace each other's different ways of thinking. See this as an opportunity to reach a joint outcome. An outcome that both parties did not think possible and is achieved because it has been viewed from different angles.
Habit 7: Keep renewing yourself
-
Keep improving four aspects of your life: physical, mental, social-emotional and spiritual.
