3. Put First Things First – I spend time on what’s most important.

                Based on the principles of focus, integrity, discipline and prioritization.

4. Think Win-Win – There is plenty out there for everyone, and more to spare.

                Based on the principles of mutual benefit, fairness and abundance.

5. Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood – I have greater influence with others if I truly understand them first.
