The 7 Habits Effect

Unlock Potential, Unleash Performance

Great leadership starts from the inside out.

It’s nearly impossible to manage a team successfully without knowing how to lead yourself first. When individuals understand their own strengths and motivation, they can apply their energy toward achieving their most important goals. Great leaders know how to get the best work out of themselves, setting a positive example for their teams and their peers.

Personal leadership begins with self-awareness. Building on this understanding, leaders then define achievable and meaningful goals, seek accountability for progress toward those goals, and handle challenges and conflict with resilience. They also allocate their time and energy properly so they can continuously support their teams without burning out.

Every person in your organization has unique leadership strengths and areas for improvement. FranklinCovey’s research-backed content, expert consultants, and innovative technology will equip your people with the resources and insights they need to build and execute strong personal leadership strategies.

Essential Self-Management Skills

 
Leaders and team members who understand themselves deeply, view challenges as opportunities for growth, and know how to manage their time and energy will achieve the highest levels of performance.

Self-Awareness

Great leaders are cognizant of their strengths, actively work on their personal challenges, and take accountability for the impact of their actions on others.

Proactivity

Great leaders take initiative with intention and focus on what’s in their control, rather than waiting to act or reacting to external conditions.

Growth Mindset

Great leaders possess an abundant growth mindset that positions setbacks as opportunities, encourages ownership, and enables continuous learning.

Receiving and Implementing Feedback

Great leaders take initiative with intention and focus on what’s in their control, rather than waiting to act or reacting to external conditions.

Time Management

Great leaders spend their time on the most important tasks, rather than be sidetracked by constant urgencies, and empower their teams to solve problems.

Energy Management and Self-Renewal

Great leaders manage their energy effectively, prioritizing mental and physical renewal practices to improve longevity, engagement, and performance at work.
