THINKING SKILL
Introduction
Habit is a blend of knowledge, desire and skill.
Every leader should have interpersonal skills.
Every leader should possess appropriate
personality and characters.
According to Stephen Covey, effective
leadership habit is to think win-win, i.e. the
overall philosophy of human interactions.
Excellence is a habit.

Habit 1: Be Proactive
Be Proactive is about taking
responsibility for your life.
Proactive people do not blame genetics,
circumstances, conditions or
conditioning for their behaviour.
Reactive people are often affected by
their physical environment and they
find external sources to blame for their
behaviour.
8
A proactive person uses proactive
language (e.g: I can, I will, I prefer
etc.)
A reactive person uses reactive
language (e.g: I can’t, I have to, If
only etc.)
9
Proactivepeople focus their time
and energy on things they can
control
10
The problems, challenges, and opportunities we face fall into two
areas:
Circle of Concern
Circle of Influence

Habit 2: Begin With the End
in Mind
Habit 2 is based on imagination i.e the ability
to envision in your mind what you cannot at
present see with your eyes.
It is based on the principle that all things are
created twice (i.e first, mental creation,
followed by second, physical creation).
Means to begin each day, task, or project with
a clear vision of your desired direction and
destination, and then continue by flexing your
proactive muscles to make things happen.
13
Oneof the best ways to incorporate
Habit 2 into your life is to develop a
Personal Mission Statement.
Yourmission statement makes you
the leader of your own life.
Youcan create your own destiny and
secure the future you envision.
14
Habit 3: Put First Things
First
Habit 1 says “You’re in charge”. Being proactive
is about choice.
Habit 2 is the first, or mental creation. Beginning
with the end in mind is about vision.
Habit 3 is the second creation, the physical
creation.
This habit is where Habits 1 and 2 come together.
It deals with many of questions addressed in the
field of time management and life management.
15
16
17
What are first things? First things are
those things you, personally, find of
most worth.
Ifyou put first things first, you are
organizing and managing time and
events according to the personal
priorities you established in Habit 3.
18
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
20
21
Habit 5: Seek First to
Understand, Then to be
Understood
Communication is the most
important skill in life.
Youspend years learning how to
read and write, and years learning
how to speak.
What about listening?
Mostpeople listen with the intent to
reply, not to understand.
22
23
Habit 6: Synergize
Synergy means “two heads are better than one”
Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation.
It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the
adventure of finding new solutions to old
problems.
It is a process, and through that process, people
bring all their personal experience and expertise
to the table. Together, they can produce better
results than they could individually.
24
Differences should be seen
as strengths not weaknesses.
25
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
26
As you renew yourself in each of the four areas, you create
growth and change in your life.
27
28
Sharpen the saw keeps you fresh so
you can continue to practice the other
six habits.
29
Habit 8: Find Your Voice and
Inspire Others to Find Theirs

How to Create 8th Habit Leadership

JOHARI Window of
Interpersonal Development
Johari window is a technique created by
Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingam in 1955
in the United States.
It is used to help people better understand
their relationship with self and others.
It is used primarily in self-help groups and
corporate settings as a heuristic exercise.

Johari Region 1: known to self and known by others
Also known as ‘the area of free activity’
Thisis the information about the person e.g:
behaviour, attitude, feelings, emotion, knowledge,
experience, skills, views, etc. – known by the
person (the self) and known by the group (others).
The aim in any group should always be to develop
the ‘open area’ for every person, because when
we work in this area with others we are at our
most effective and productive, and the group is at
its most productive too.
39
Johari Region 2: known to others but
unknown to self
Itis what is known about a person by
others in the group, but it is unknown by
the person him/herself.
By seeking or soliciting feedback from
others, the aim should be to reduce this
area and thereby to increase the open
area i.e to increase self-awareness.
40
Johari Region 3: known to self and unknown to
others
Iswhat is known to ourselves but kept
hidden from, and therefore unknown, to
others.
By telling others how we feel and other
information about ourselves we reduce the
hidden area, and increase the open area
which enables better understanding,
cooperation, trust, team-working
effectiveness and productivity.
41
Johari Region 4:unknown to self and
unknown to others
Contains information, feelings, latent
abilities, experiences etc, that are
unknown to the person him/herself and
unknown to others in the group.
Large unknown areas would typically be
expected in younger people, and people
who lack experience or self-belief.
42
JohariWindow is a very elegant and
potent model, simply helping people
to understand, is the most effective
way to optimise the value to people.
43
The Johari Window model is a simple
and useful tool for illustrating and
improving self-awareness, and mutual
understanding between individuals
within a group.
Itcan also be used to assess and
improve a group’s relationship with
other groups.
44
Today, the Johari Window model is especially
relevant due to modern emphasis on, and
influence of, ‘soft’ skills, behaviour,
empathy, cooperation, inter-group
development and interpersonal development.

• Evaluative Listening – Involves evaluating
and analyzing the message being received.
Judging the acceptability of what is said
depending on how logical one finds it to be.
• Attentive Listening – involves paying
attention to the words that are being spoken.
• Pretence Listening – involves more hearing
than listening. It means pretending through
facial expressions that one is listening when
actually not.
53
Selective Listening – Involves selecting
the desired part of the message and
ignoring the undesired part of the
message.
Intuitive Listening – Listening through
intuitive mind by silencing the other forms
of internal dialogues on simultaneously.

Barriers to Effective
Listening
Physical Barriers
Physiological barriers
Psychological barriers
55
Physical Barriers
Noise
Poor acoustics
Defective mechanical devices
Frequent interuptions
Uncomfortable seating arragements
Uncomfortable environment
Message overload
56
Physiological Barriers
• State of Health – Listener or speaker having fever,
pain or any form of bodily discomfort.
• Disability – Hearing deficiencies, speech disorder or
speaker’s accent may also make it difficult to
comprehend.
• Wandering attention – Human mind can process
words at the rate of about 500 minute, whereas a
speaker speaks at the rate of about 150 per minute.
The difference between the two leaves the listener
with sufficient time to let his mind wander.
57
Psychological Barriers
• Being unsure of the speakeer’s ability –
Based on past experience or inputs from
sources, the listener may have preconceived
notion of the speaker’s abiility.
• Personal anxiety – listener is preoccupied
with personal concerns and anxieties.
• Attitude – Listener may be highly egocentric
with a “know it all attitude” and may not
listen .
58
Impatience – Listener may not have patience
to wait for the other person to finish what he
has to say. Eager to add his own point.
