Stephen R. Covey (1932-2012) was the author of the best selling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and other management and business titles. He earned an MBA at Harvard and a doctorate in Mormon Church History and Doctrine from Brigham Young University.
The seven habits Covey prescribes are
- Be proactive
- Begin with the end in mind
- Put first things first
- Think win/win
- Seek first to understand, then to be understood
- Synergize
- Sharpen the saw
Proactive as defined by Stephen Covey means that you don't just let life happen to you, and don't respond "by instinct" like a dog. [1]
