The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

How is technology going to change business in the future?
I believe in Stan Davis’s statement that “When the infrastructure changes,
everything rumbles,” and I think the technical infrastruc ture is central to
everything. It will accelerate all good 
and
bad trends. I’m also convinced
that it is for these very reasons that the human element becomes even more
important. High tech without high touch does not work, and, the more
influential technology be comes, the more important is the human factor
which controls that technology becomes, particularly in developing a
cultural commit ment to the criteria in the use of that technology.
Are you surprised or astounded at the universal popularity of the 7 Habits (with other
countries/cultures/ages/gender)?
Yes and no. Yes, in that I had no idea it would become a world wide
phenomenon and that a few of the words would become part of Americana.
No, in the sense that the material had been tested for over twenty five years
and I knew that it would work primarily because it is based upon principles
I did not invent and therefore take no credit for.
How would you begin to teach the 7 Habits to very young children?

I think I would live by Albert Schweitzer’s three basic rules for raising
children: First, example; second, example; third, example. But I wouldn’t
go quite that far. I would say, first, example; sec ond, build a caring and
affirming relationship; and third, teach some of the simple ideas underlying
the habits in the language of children—help them gain a basic
understanding and vocabulary of the 7 Habits and show them how to
process their own experi ences through the principles; let them identify what
particular principles and habits are being illustrated in their lives.
