The 7 habits of highly effective people-SummaryHumayun Kabir
The 7 habits for effective people is a #1 national best seller book on personal development, written by Stephen R. Covey. It has sold more than 15 million copies since its first publication in 1989.
This was a presentation given by Jimmy Young, Senior Practice Manager at Lloyds Banking Group, to the APM Scotland branch membership in Edinburgh in September 2014.
Jimmy's presentation provided an insight into how Lloyds performance manage, assign and develop their project managers in a £1.5billion+ portfolio of projects delivering over 33,000 changes a year. A key component of this work is the personal resilience of the colleagues and their ability to cope with stress in both personal and business life.
Increasing recognition of the importance of the work/life balance and the true cost of stress in the workplace was spectacularly illustrated by the problems faced by their own CEO António Horta-Osório in 2011.
Antonio recovered and was able to return to his post but now has a support infrastructure in place to prevent overwork. This ethos is now prevalent throughout Lloyds with the acknowledgement that “sometimes it is OK not to be OK” and staff are supported by people like Jimmy who can help them to develop resilience and redress the work/life balance if they are feeling pressurised or stressed.
Jimmy handed out a “How balanced is your life?” worksheet that the audience were able to fill in before and after his talk and then do some self-analysis on areas which might be a cause for concern. We also grappled with the question “which way round does the toilet roll go?” (Jimmy and I disagree on this!) and why some seemingly trivial things can be trigger points for underlying issues. Lloyds is building a caring, modern workplace where there is a collective responsibility and sense of community resulting in, unsurprisingly, happier and more productive employees.

Effective motivational strategies include finding new skills, getting feedback, expanding abilities, and rotating work assignments. Setting specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals can help achieve success through responsibility, hard work, persistence, creativity, commitment, and learning.

accomplish with strong
purpose)

30. Time management is the
central skill for personal
productivity
Ever productive activity takes place at a central

week, you create a tally so you can
know exactly where your time is
going
33. When you feel your
productivity is lower than
you'd like, raise your
awareness via time logging
34. Identify your Time Wasters

procrastinators or hard
workers, it's something you
learn

performance is not possible
without attitude
Attitude is the bridge between where we are
and where we want to be

themselves, in their skills and
abilities, in their industry and in
what they can do with their life
44. Productivity and personal
growth always involves
learning new skills
Learning more and faster is the only true
competitive advantage - Ralph C. Stayer
45. Our business in life is not to get ahead
of others but to get ahead of ourselves
– to break our own records, to outstrip
our yesterday by our today - Steart B.
