Habit #5 - Seek 1st to Understand
Aug 19, 2014
The 5th of the 7 Highly Effectively Habits, it deals primarily with "the method to be effective with others".
Dr Steven .R Covey mentioned that there is a reason why the 7 Habits are sequenced in the way that he did. Every one of the Habit builds upon the previous one in a progressive manner.
In his own words, "The relationship & the sequence among the Habits are the key to the overall power."
It is most recommended that one learns all the 7 Habits in order.
So, if you have not yet gone through the 1st Habit - Be Proactive, 2nd Habit - Begin with the End in Mind & 3rd Habit - 1st Things 1st, 4th Habit - Think Win-Win, why not go through them 1st?
