The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Great performance starts with how people think, act and work together. At Franklin Covey, we help organisations in Malta build these strengths through the 7 Habits programme. It is a trusted solution for personal and interpersonal development, used by millions of people worldwide.

What Are the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a personal and interpersonal development programme based on the bestselling business book of the same name. It teaches seven habits rooted in universal principles that build emotional intelligence, proactive problem solving and self-leadership. Learners gain skills to work well alone and with others.

Why Do Human Skills Matter More Than Ever?

Human skills matter more than ever because technology and AI are changing how work gets done. How people work alone and together still decides results. A clear framework helps everyone build these skills, and that supports success across the organisation.

Who Is the Course For?

Many organisations choose the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People course for people at every level. It suits teams and individuals who want to grow in these areas:

  • Emotional intelligence
  • Proactive problem solving
  • High-trust relationships
  • Self-leadership

The Maturity Continuum

Each habit moves learners from dependence and independence towards interdependence. The habits fall into three stages.

  • Private Victory (Habits 1 to 3) builds personal mastery. Learners define the outcomes they want and focus their effort.
  • Public Victory (Habits 4 to 6) builds collaboration and strong relationships, so people achieve more together.
  • Renewal (Habit 7) encourages continuous improvement so the other habits last.

The Seven Habits at a Glance

  1. Be Proactive: Take responsibility and focus on what you can influence.
  2. Begin With the End in Mind: Define clear measures of success and plan how to reach them.
  3. Put First Things First: Prioritise the goals that matter most.
  4. Think Win-Win: Look for ways every person can benefit.
  5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Listen to others, then share your own view with respect.
  6. Synergize: Use different perspectives to solve problems and innovate.
  7. Sharpen the Saw: Make time for renewal to keep your energy and motivation strong.
