Instead of approaching problems from the personality ethic standpoint of "if I take care of these problems, my friends/family/coworkers will like me more", Covey says the more powerful and effective approach is to look at the challenges from the character ethic standpoint, or the standpoint of "I will face and overcome these challenges because I have integrity/courage/humility". Covey believes that stress and the hassled feeling that people get when they have too much to do and not enough time can be eliminated by approaching the issues at hand not only from a new angle, but from a new viewpoint. The first step is to look at how you view your life, and prepare for a paradigm shift. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People moves away from time-management as a complete system, and instead focuses on changing the behaviors of a person in order to help them succeed and find meaning in life. Looking at the Habit Loop will explain more about how to form a habit. The habits that Covey provides are meant to give you the knowledge and skill to create new habits and change your life, but you have to provide the desire to do so. A habit cannot be formed if you do not know how to form it, or if you have no desire or motivation to form a new habit, which is why all three pieces are important in building a habit. Simply put, a habit is knowing what to do and why (knowledge), knowing how to do it (skill), and wanting to do it (desire). Without all three a habit cannot be formed. Knowledge is the ability to know what needs to happen, skill is the ability to do what needs to happen, and desire is the motivation to do what needs to be done. How Knowledge, Skill, and Desire Make a HabitĪccording to Covey, a habit is the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire. 4.2.8 The Pillars that Support Greatness.4.2 Everyday Greatness: Inspiration for a Meaningful Life.4.1.1.3 Gift 3: The Mental, Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Intelligence.4.1 The 8th Habit: Find Your Voice and Inspire Others to Find Theirs.4 Beyond the 7 Habits - More Room for Improvement.3.3.1.1 The Balancing Act: Physical, Mental, Social, and Spiritual Renewal.3.3 Renewal: The Art of Continuous Improvements.3.2.4.2 How to Keep Good Synergy and Remove Bad Synergy.3.2.3.2 Then Seek to be Understood: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.3.2.3.1 First Seek to Understand.with Empathy.3.2.3 Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood.3.2.2.1 The Six Paradigms of Human Interaction.3.2 Public Victory: Becoming Interdependent.3.1.3.2 The Art of Living in Quadrant II.3.1.3.1 The Four Quadrants of Time Management.3.1.2.4 Create and Follow Your Personal Mission Statement.3.1.2 Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind.3.1.1.4 The Circle of Concern and the Circle of Influence. 3.1 Private Victory: Steps Towards Independence.3 The 7 Habits - A Step by Step Guide to Shifting the Paradigm.2.1 Just to be Clear, What is a Paradigm?.
