Covey Habit 5 - Seek First to Understand
"Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood.
Knowing how to be understood is the other half of Habit 5, and is equally critical in reaching win-win solutions.
Earlier we defined maturity as the balance between courage and consideration. Seeking to understand requires consideration; seeking to be understood takes courage. Win-win requires a high degree of both. So it becomes important in interdependent situations for us to be understood.
The early Greeks had a magnificent philosophy which is embodied in three sequentially arranged words: ethos, pathos, and logos. I suggest these three words contain the essence of seeking first to understand and making effective presentations."
