Applying The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People to Your Startup

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, written by Stephen Covey, is one of my favorite books. The book shares invaluable insights and principles to help people become more effective. When I read the book sometime in 2018, I realized that many of the foundations outlined in the book are also applicable to startups, and how to build and run them effectively.

I recently sat down with Venture Cafe at the Cambridge Innovation Center, a co-working and entrepreneurial organization, where I discussed the book and how to apply its insights to your startup. Check out the complete talk.

You’ll learn about:

• The three stages of dependency and why they’re important to being effective
• Principles and how they can effect your effectiveness
• Negotiation strategies and tactics and why the Win-Win approach is critical to working with others
• Understanding others, what to do and how it helps you be understood too
• Helping your employees or teammates to manage themselves
