This best describes which habit of highly effective people?

Respuesta :

Answer:

I believe that the best answer choice for the question: This best describes which habit of highly effective people, would be: Sharpen the Saw, habit, although it would also fit the description of the win-win habit, if we focus on the company´s policy itself.

Explanation:

When talking about the way that a person, or an organization, can become highly effective, highly successful, and at the same time (at least in people), be happy, is to achieve a balance between working, and having activities that will sharpen skills, ensure productivity, but also allow for relaxation and a different pattern. Sharpening the Saw, and win-win, are two of the 7 habits talked about by experts regarding highly successful and happy people and they ensure that a person finds the balance between being a highly motivated, and devoted, worker, and someone who finds time to do other activities, maybe related to work, but that changes the environment completely, which also benefits the company. In this case, Penny´s Pizza´s semi-annual seminar offers these senior managers the opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge (work-related sharpening), while at the same time doing activities outside of the office that will ensure relaxation and personal growth. This also helps managers to increase their capacity for sensitivity towards their employees, in essence, a win-win situation. This is why both habits could fit into the policy implemented by Penny´s Pizza.

The correct answer is “sharpen the saw”.

“Sharpen the saw” is part of the 7 habits of highly effective people according to Steven covey. Sharpen the saw means growth. It involves balancing and renewing resources, energy towards having an effective and sustainable lifestyle.
