Episode 32: Seven Habits of Highly Effective Women - a podcast by Carolyn Hern

Back in the stone ages … 1989, Stephen Covey wrote a book called, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and it had a profound impact on the world, selling 25 million copies in 40 different languages worldwide. Covey coined the idea of having an abundance mentality, which means you believe there’s always enough resources, ideas, or paths to success for everyone. Success and abundance will never run out or become scarce.

What are these 7 habits? Here’s the cliff notes if you haven’t read the book yet …

1. Be proactive- achieve extraordinary results by consistently executing with resourcefulness and initiative to break through barriers
2. Begin with the end in mind- develop an outcome-oriented mindset in every activity you engage in
3. Put first things first- eliminate energy and time-wasting tendencies by focusing and executing on your team’s wildly important goals with a weekly planning
4. Think win-win- lead teams that are motivated to perform superbly through shared expectation and accountability process
5. Seek first to understand, then be understood- create an atmosphere of helpful give-and-take by taking time to fully understand issues, and give candid and accurate feedback
6. Synergize- use teamwork to achieve your goals
7. Sharpen the saw- continuous improvement

But back when this book was written … about 29 years ago … it was really meant for men in business. Totally fine. But what are the 7 habits of highly effective women today?
