The 7 Habits of Leaders

Habit 1-Be Proactive

Being proactive is taking responsibility for your own life, exercising the ability to select your response to any stimulus. For this it needs to be a conscious decision based on your personal values and not on the conditions in which the person is, nor on the form how it was created and not in the genetic load of each person. It consists of a proactive posture, prior knowledge, knowledge, skills, doing and attitudes, wanting, used to question, evaluate, improve or innovate management practices and respective standards of work, respect the freedom of choice.

The proactive person, guided by their values, differs from reactive people as they give control of their decisions to others. In this sense, they lose their freedom of conscious choice and their will becomes dependent on the external environment, influenced by others

Habit 2-Begin with a goal in mind.

Having a goal in mind is having firmly established values, it means having the firmness to face challenges and being aware of the consequences, starting with a goal in mind is a habit of personal leadership, this habit talks about being in the right center, a center based on principles that have no time horizon do not change, what happens from experiences is the attribution of new meanings to values. This attitude will itemify or not our principles in the development process. The principles aim at the beliefs and values that are acquired and imprinted in our neural system, these are beliefs that guide our decisions. Principles do not change, our notion of them does.

Habit 3-First the Most Important.

Focus first on what is most important, an effective leader needs to know how to organize his time and priorities and not waste time on unnecessary things.

Habit 4-Win-Win Mindset

The Win-Win Habit is based on the character of those involved and that's what the fourth habit says when one person's victory does not necessarily come at the expense of another person's defeat, both of which, in any agreement, should benefit.

In decision making, for the parties to share the victory for this to happen, there must be.

INTEGRITY: THE VALUE WE GIVE OURSELVES BASED ON MORALITY.

MATURITY: BALANCE BETWEEN COURAGE AND CONSIDERATION.

ABUNDANCE MENTALITY: PARADIGM THAT SAYS THERE IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE.

In this way, win-win is lose-lose, because when one wins and the other loses, neither of them gains the trust and loyalty of the other in the long run, that is, you can win by making the other party lose, but this will affect the next deal.

Character is formed by the beliefs and values that govern people's behavior and is essentially formed in the childhood of each one of us through education, training and acquired experiences.

Habit 5-Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood.

Understanding implies learning to change people's natural paradigm, which is the first to be understood, we all spend part of our lives learning communication in written or spoken form but we learn little about listening, truly understanding another person from their own benchmark.Knowing how to listen or listen is a very special attribute for those who hold a leadership position sometimes, precisely because we don't know how to listen, we lose the opportunity to make a good deal; when we don't lose good friends, partners and even family members. listening is of fundamental importance.

Habit 6-Create Synergy

Creating synergy implies the creative cooperation of teamwork, in teamwork, but more than that, it is knowing how to understand that in synergy the whole is more than the sum of the parts, creating synergy implies the creative cooperation of teamwork. In teamwork, respect between people is the strong point to generate synergy, people have an empathetic listening as well as their win-win mentality in order to achieve the best results.

Synergy is stimulated by the definition of goals, objectives and values to be shared, it is also essential that there is cooperation between the members of your team, this is how a sum of efforts is transformed into a multiplication of probable potentials.

Valuing differences is the essence of synergy, emotional and psychological differences between people. The real key to differences is realizing that all people see the world not as it is, but as they really are.

Habit 7-Tune the Instrument

Self-renewal implies taking care of what is most important: YOURSELF, this is the habit of seeking self-improvement, for progress in the four dimensions of human nature, physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional. These must be exercised regularly with rigor and balance.

1-RENEW THE PHYSICAL DIMENSION: in a way, it is the care with food, eating adequate food, resting, relaxing and exercising.

2- RENEW THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION: it is the center, the intimate of the person, the commitment to the system of beliefs and values. Attention to praying, meditation and spiritual readings.
