7 Value - Influential Leadership Where does leadership begin?

8 Covey Private Victory The first three habits relate to our own internal or personal philosophy Be Proactive Be aware of yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, blind spots, motivations - and be proactive in finding out as much as you can about yourself. Then be proactive in applying that knowledge to your relations with others. Begin with the End in mind Put First Things First In summary, create and live by a personal mission statement. This may lead onto more specific goals and objectives, but the idea is that you try to live as the sort of person you'd like to be remembered for when you've passed on. Define what it is that really matters in your life, then spend your time on those important things. Rather than spreading our time thinly across too many activities, concentrate on doing a few things well.

9 Covey Public Victory The next three habits relate to our interaction with our environment Think Win/Win Seek First to Understand, then be Understood Not an original phrase, but in all your dealings with others, aim for each little negotiation to provide success (a win) for both sides. Put another way, "God gave us two ears and one mouth, and they should be used in that proportion." In your communications, be sure you know the other person's point of view before you start expounding your own ideas. Synergize Look for ways to take your ideas and other people's ideas and build on them together, on the basis that the outcome will be something greater than the sum of the inputs.

10 The Seventh Habit > The seventh habit that makes all the other six last is Sharpening the Saw.

11 Some words to live by > The mark of a man is not how he falls, but how he picks himself up > Mandela (No date)

21 Looking For Hazards Eliminate The Human Contribution If you consciously make the effort to see, hear, feel, smell or taste hazards, you will identify them more than you normally would! You can voluntarily change the way you see things

22 Hazardous Conditions The Accident Weed Hazardous Practices Poor housekeeping Ignored safety rules Didn t follow procedures Root Causes Poor work procedures No follow-up/feedback Lack of Training Don t know how Purchasing unsafe equipment Lack of supervision Rules not enforced Lack of leadership Poor safety management Root Causes Consulting others
