Consider Anyone can be a leader for someone in relation to something.
Habit 3: Put First Things First • Habit 1 – Be Proactive (I am the programmer) • Habit 2 – Begin with the End in Mind (Write the program) • Habit 3 – Put First Things First (RUN the program) Habit 3 is about the “second creation” – it is about turning your dreams into reality
Consider “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” Goethe
Habit 3 Paradigm • Mission statements always reveal what is most important to most people – the RELATIONSHIPS in their personal & professional lives • The enemy of putting first things first is to put second or third things ahead of them.
How the Life Management Paradigm Applies To Leadership • Leadership resides in RELATIONSHIPSwith subordinates, peers, bosses, and other stakeholders • Time and People • Efficiency and Effectiveness • Focusing only on efficient use of time will put important relationships at risk
Efficiency vs. Effectiveness • How do you produce good work? Time Management ….. Schedules …. Efficiency • How do you spend your life? Life Management ….. Principles ….. Effectiveness
12 9 3 6 N E W S Time & Life Management • Time Management • Focus is best use ofTIME • Goal is Control • Result is Efficiency • Life Management • Focus is relating toPEOPLE • Goal is building/maintaining relationships • Result is Effectiveness (Trust and the Ability to Lead Others)
Managing Time & Getting Things Done • Reminders/Notes • “To Do” Lists • Planners • Calendars • Goals (must be done by…) • Refrigerator
Life Paradigm When dealing with people & relationships, fast is slow and slow is fast! Why?
A Metaphor BIG ROCKS andlittlerocks
Key Distinction: Urgent vs. Important URGENT Activities that demand or “appear” to require your immediate attention IMPORTANT Activities that are related directly to your mission, core values, & principles

Bumper Sticker: • You need a burning “YES” to say NO to other things! • What creates the burning YES that enables successful leaders to say NO to trivial requests for their time, energy & resources?
Planning: Life Management • Connect with your MISSION regularly • Put the BIG ROCKS in first (integrity in the moments of choice) • Identify the important ROLES in your life (relationships) • Select realistic GOALS for each role • Plan WEEKLY, not Daily • EVALUATE often how it is going
