A1. & A1a. Complete and reflect on the “Seven Habits Profile”

2015). These seven habits mainly defined the means of thinking, living as well as doing
which is reliable with these principles.
Be proactive
My score in this category is 14 which is a good score as well as on the higher side of
the seven habit profile. This habit is all about enchanting control of our lives which includes
not allowing any other influential factors to shape our lives, acknowledging responsibilities
for our own actions as well as for what happens to us, taking our own decisions, selecting our
responses for our circumstances and lastly, not being the victims in other’s games.
However, regarding my leadership style I have seen that at my professional life I have
very proactive regarding every step I take. I do every work responsibly and am always
proactive in taking responsibility of my decisions and actions. Moreover, I feel I have total
control on my life and can very well take my own decisions without anyone else’s
interference.
Begin with the end of mind
My score in this category is 15, which is also a very good score and is at the higher
side of the profile. This second habit from the seven-habit profile is to have a clear goal,
which is based upon our principles and what we actually want to become. However, in my
personal life I feel I always try to make sure that my daily activities contribute massively to
