LinkedIn is full of ๐๐-๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฌ – ๐ญimpressive on the surface.
This one is ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง-๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ – I simply ๐ it.
The illustration of ๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ by ๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฒ โ beautifully visualized by Nathalie Tu about five years ago, before the big AI hype โ feels different.
Not because it is spectacular.
But because it is ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ.
It summarizes Coveyโs central idea:
How we move away from ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฒ
โ to ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฒ (Habits 1โ3)
โ to ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฒ (Habits 4โ6)
โ to ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐-๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฐ๐๐ฅ (Habit 7)
Covey’s thinking had a big influence on my own journey โ both personally and professionally.
In many ways, it also inspired the ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค to support teams in organizations:
โต ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ-๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ โ independency
โต ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ง๐๐ซ-๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ โ interdependency
โต ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ซ-๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ โ continuous self-renewal
Which raises an interesting question.

AI is an incredible tool. Of course, ๐๐ helped polish this post.
At the same time, we need ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ that ๐๐ should support – not reverse – Coveyโs development journey:
โ ๏ธ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐-๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฐ๐๐ฅ
Reading AI-generated content instead of taking time for reflection.
โ ๏ธ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฒ
Interacting with tools instead of connecting with people.
โ ๏ธ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฒ
The fear that we cannot keep up in life and at work without AI.
Technology will keep evolving.
How do we use ๐๐ in a way that strengthens our ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ?
