Covey Habit One Proactive
Lesson Outline
Continuing to utilize critical thinking in relation to entrepreneurship, Bobby spent time on Habit 1 of the Covey system of Seven Habits: proactivity. We talked about the PURPOSE of this "habit" and how it will be vital in his company and in maintaining an effective team. Bobby took notes as we reasoned through this in his dedicated CT notebook. We watched a short film from the Covey website on proactivity and the circle of influence where you focus energy on things you can change for the better, rather than on the outer circle of things you can do nothing about -- so as not to waste time or take energy from what you can do. He learned that proactivity includes "resourcefulness" -- identified this as a "concept" (element of CT), and found a clear definition. The purpose of this ability to find quick and clever solutions to problems is to bring this into his circle of influence where it will make the most difference. Secondly, this habit includes "initiative." We discussed this concept in depth and decided to think of it as taking steps first before others begin to work on something -- it is to move quickly with resourcefulness. The purpose of all of this is to overcome barriers or obstructions, and change the paradigm (new word he learned) of team members who may be voicing negativity or an "it can't be done" attitude to one of vision and how things should be.
