曾被美国《时代》周刊称为“25位较有影响力的美国人之一”的柯维先生,也就是我们熟悉的《高效能人士的7个习惯》的作者,曾经还专门针对孩子写过另外两本著作:《The 7 Habits of Happy Kids》和《The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens》。美国学校把它们归纳为孩子成长的“7棵习惯树”。
这幅海报用一棵大树来比喻孩子一生中要培养的好习惯。
从树根开始从下往上,这7个习惯像一棵树一样逐渐长成,分别是:
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end inmind
3. Put first things first
4. Think win-win
5. Seek first to understand,then to be understoo
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the saw
