Book Abstract

Main Theme

The 7 Habits provide an incremental, sequential, integrated approach to the development of personal effectiveness moving us progressively from dependence (on others) to independence (taking care of ourselves) to interdependence (looking after others and combining strengths to multiply our individual effectiveness).

The first three habits are the basis for private victories in which we develop the fiber of our own character traits.

The second three habits are for public victories, those situations where we work with other people.

The final habit improves the effectiveness of our lives in all areas.

The 7 Habits give the ability to work from the inside out to build character of total integrity.
