Covey's summaries

LAT - Learn Apply and Teach
* Teach what we learn
* Do the same to our family
* No other success can compensate the failure in the home
Boss is a servant leader will be a true leader
5 reasons to teach:
1. You simply learn better
2. Motivates you to live it
3. Increases your ability to listen within another's frame of reference 4. Legitimizes Changes 5. Bonding
** Leave a Legacy:
How do we show love?
What is our fire?
If Life is short....what do we want to do?
Levels of engagement:
* We can buy a person's "Hand" but not "Heart".
The whole person paradigm:
-Industrial age:
Job Desription follow a process
- Knowledge age:
#everyone has a Unique contribution
# Release mind-set by asking
- what's your opinion / thoughts

Human beings have 4 dimensions:
Body; Mind; Heart ; Spirit
People normally give all 4 parts to their work
If you turn people into a thing that needs "control". Leadership is not about control, its about unleasing potentials.
We manage things and lead people

How likely is it that you would recommend this product or service to a friend or colleague?



Leader needs to be open, honest, everyone able to contribute.
Clarify purpose and Align System.
Deep down, everyone wants to win!
The freedom is in the discipline.
Disciplines of Execution:
** Let team speak up their measures / goals , let them come up ideas and let them take accountability
(use pilot program to test)
** Success of a leader:
A test for a good leader is SUCCESS continuous even after the leader's departure
** When hiring a person, instead of telling what they need to do, ask what they like and do well, so they are on a "complimentary" team.
Family time
* Have a weekly family meeting to talk about values, mission
*Talk to each children to seek to understand
(avoid sick at heart).
* Have "one-on-one time", let children make the agenda
* we don't want to miss the magical moments with family! Specially with our children!
Roles of principle-centred family relationship:

1. Teaching - empowering principles
- hears/do,trusts based principles & self
2. Organizing - aligning process to Mission

4. Modeling - (sees) (trusts you)

If u can't measure, you can't improve it!
Celebrate success.

Winning streaks - self discipline,
-Everybody has to be a part of the team & this connects people
