The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Maintenance Organizations

Dr. Steven Covey is the acclaimed author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. His practices – in particular, his seven habits – have influenced many great organizations and highly successful people. With the permission of the Franklin Covey Institute, MRG’s Paul Swatkowski molded the The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to perfectly fit the maintenance world.

In his book, Dr. Steven Covey breaks success in life down to the adherence of these seven habits:

Habit 1 – Be Proactive
Habit 2 – Begin with the end in mind
Habit 3 – First things first
Habit 4 – Seek Win/Win
Habit 5 – Seek first to understand then be understood
Habit 6 – Synergize
Habit 7 – Sharpen the Saw

These Habits not only apply to personal productivity, but to organizational productivity as well. Each of these—and how they relate to maintenance organizations—will be covered in detail within this blog throughout the upcoming weeks.

Stay tuned for Habit 1!
