Paradigm Shift
Paradigm:
It is the lens through which we see the world -It is our POINT-OF-VIEW
Paradigm Shift:
The right way to change a person’s behavior is to change his/her paradigm. How
they define themselves? How they see their role? How they accept their
responsibilities and act accordingly?
We think we see the world as it is
NO
We see the world as we were conditioned to see it

Habit
Principles of Personal Management
It is the habit of the 3rd alternative:

it is not your way,
it is a better way
Six Paradigms of Human Interaction:

2.Lose/Lose
3.Win/Lose

Habit Five Dimensions of Win/Win
Character. The foundation of Win/Win
•Integrity (Comes from Habit 1, 2,3)
•Maturity (balance between feelings and
conviction of each other/both parties)
•Abundance Mentality (Plenty out there for
everyone)
Relationships. Courtesy, respect and
appreciation for the other person and his point of
view.
Agreements. Agreements that give definition
and direction to Win/Win. Also called as
performance or partnership agreements.
Elements of Agreements are as follows
Desired results
Guidelines
Resources
Accountability
Consequences
36. Think Win/Win
Habit Five Dimensions of Win/Win
Supportive Systems. Reward systems must
reflect the values of the mission statement.
Often the problems is in the system, not in the
people. You have to water the flower you want to
grow.
Processes. The route to Win/Win:
1. See the problem from another point of
view.
2. Identify the key issues and concerns
involved.
3. Determine what results would constitute
a fully acceptable solution.
4. Identify possible new options to achieve
those results.
38. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Principles of Empathic Communication
Habit 5 is the first step in the process of
Win/Win.
Example: Optometrist
Communication is the most important skill in life
If you want to interact effectively with me, to
influence me, you first need to understand me.
You have to build the skills of empathic listening
on a base of character that inspires openness and
trust.
Habit
39. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Empathic Listening
Most people either speak or prepare to speak or
listen to judge and criticize
Most people listen with the intent to reply.
When another person speaks, we are usually
'listening' at one of four levels:
ignoring
pretending
selective listening
attentive listening
Very few of us ever practice the highest form of
listening – Empathic Listening
Habit
40. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Empathic Listening
Empathic Listening means “Listening with intent
to understand”.
Empathic (From Empathy) listening gets inside
another person’s frame of reference.
Empathy is not sympathy (which is a form of
agreement, a form of judgment)
So its doesn’t mean to agree with someone; its
fully, deeply understand the person, emotionally
as well as intellectually.
Habit
41. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Effective Empathic Listening
Communication Expert estimate that
Only 10 percent of our communication is
represented by the words we say, another
30 percent by our sounds, and 60 percent
by body language.
•So in empathic listening you listen with you ears,
but you also and more importantly, listen with
your eyes and with your heart.
Habit
42. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Diagnose Before You Prescribe
Diagnose before you prescribe is a correct
principle in many areas of life.
It is the mark of all true professionals
The amateur salesman sells products, the
professional salesman sells solutions to needs and
problems.
Habit
43. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Autobiographical Responses
Because we listen autobiographically (from the
perspective of our own paradigms), we tend to respond
in one of four ways:
We evaluate (agree or disagree)
We probe (ask question from our own frame of
reference)
We advise (according to our own experience)
We interpret (based on our own motives &
behaviors)
The language of logic is different from the language of
sentiment and emotion.
As long as responses are logical, we are at liberty to ask
questions and give counsel. The moment responses
become emotional, empathic listening is necessary.
Habit
44. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Exercising Empathic Listening
Empathic listening involves four developmental
stages
mimic content
rephrase the content
reflect feeling
rephrase the content and reflect the feeling
Empathic listening enables us to turn
transactional opportunities into transformational
opportunities.
The key to empathic listening is to genuinely seek
the welfare of the individual to whom you are
listening.
Habit
45. Seek First to Understand,
Then to Be Understood
Seek to be Understood – Second part of Habit 5
Knowing how to be understood is the other half of
Habit 5 and is crucial in reaching Win/Win
solutions.
The essence of making effective presentations:
Ethos -- your personal credibility.
Pathos -- the empathic side.
Logos -- the logic.
When you can present your own ideas clearly,
specifically, visually and in the context of the
paradigms of your audience, you significantly
increase the credibility of your ideas.
Habit
47. Synergize
Principles of Creative Cooperation
The exercise of all the other habits prepares us for
the habit of synergy.
When you communicate synergistically, you are
simply opening your mind and heart and expressions
to new possibilities new alternatives, new opti0ns.
The essence of synergy is to:
Value differences
Respect others
Build on strength
Compromise for weakness
Habit
48. Synergize
Synergy and Communication
The lowest level of communication coming
out of low trust situations is characterized by
defensiveness, protectiveness, and legalistic
language which covers all the bases and spells
out qualifiers and escape clauses in the event
things go sour.
The middle level of communication is
respectful communication -- where fairly
mature people communicate.
The highest level of communication is
synergistic (win/win) communication.
Habit
50. Synergize
Fishing for the Third Alternative
It means to back and forth until you come up
with a solution that both parties feel good
about.
Its better than the solutions either of both
parties originally proposed.
Its better than compromise.
Instead of transaction, it’s a transformation.
Habit
51. Synergize
Value the differences
Valuing the differences is the essence of
synergy.
The truly effective person has the humility
and reverence to recognize his own perceptual
limitations and to realize the rich resources
available through interaction with the hearts
and minds of other people.
If two people have the same opinion, one
person is unnecessary.
Habit
53. Sharpen the Saw
Principles of Balanced Self-Renewal
Habit 7 is taking the time to sharpen the saw.
This is definitely a Quadrant II activity.

Four Dimensions of Renewal
55. Sharpen the Saw
The Physical Dimension
Involves caring effectively for our physical
body.
Exercise is a Quadrant II, high-leverage
activity that most of us don't do consistently
because it isn't urgent.
Three areas are necessary:
Endurance comes from aerobic exercise
Flexibility comes through stretching
Strength comes from muscle resistance
exercises.
Habit
56. Sharpen the Saw
The Spiritual Dimension
The spiritual dimension is your core, your
center, your commitment to your value system.
Spiritual renewal is a Quadrant II investment
of time that we really can't afford to neglect.
A personal mission statement enables us to
have an understanding of our purpose which
we can review frequently.
Habit
57. Sharpen the Saw
The Mental Dimension
Surveys indicate that the television is on in
most homes thirty- five to forty hours per
week.
Reading good literature on a regular basis is a
good way to renew your mind.
Keeping a journal of our thoughts,
experiences, and insights is also beneficial.
Habit
58. Sharpen the Saw
The Social Dimension
This area of our lives is primarily developed in
our relationships with others.
We can help script others as principle-
centered, value-based, independent,
worthwhile individuals.
Balance in Renewal
The self-renewal process must include
balanced renewal in all four dimensions of our
lives.
This is true for organizations as well as for
individuals.
