2. Effective Business Habits
Habits of Effective Leaders

The Effective Business Habits module is a complex look at different management models and tools that are not taught in mainstream schools to make people effective so that they in turn, can make their organisations effective. Nothing less can ensure survival and prosperity in these tumultuous times. The whirlwind of technological advances; the changing tide of global, national, and local markets; the storms of mergers, downsizing, and structural changes-these are just some of the proliferating challenges that organisations face today. Quick-fix solutions do not work in this environment. Piecemeal improvements are futile. Only those organisations that have made the effort to build a solid foundation of highly effective people will move surely and safely toward their destinations.

In today's business environment, it is not enough to do things differently. You must do different things. This module will help you and the people in your organisation change the fundamental way you approach your jobs, relationships, even problems and opportunities.

Module 1
In this module we will examine the following:
• Being Proactive-discusses the difference between knowing the path and walking the path. You have to have the vision before you can achieve your goals.
• Begin with the End in mind-discusses goal setting and setting milestones for personal and business development.
• Put First things First-looks at prioritising your goals and managing effectively. Time management is a key as is realisation of hours in the day and creating an objective view of life in which work and play fits into this picture.
• Think win/win-looks at setting a process in place in which nobody ever becomes left out or losing. Every venture can be used as a tool for creating satisfying relationships that work long term.
• Seek first to Understand then Understand-looks to understand the communication styles and process involved when dealing with others.
• Synergise-to synergise is to reach mutual benefits. It's what we do in life everyday. A few games are taught to define the real communication patterns in life and how we reach control in communication using rapport and commonality as a communication tool.
• Sharpen the Saw-looks at combining all the tools provided within life for a better understanding of management. Using mind power, NLP, numerology plus many other tools enables greater awareness of surroundings and a better understanding of what people are really on about.
