Begin With the End In Mind

This gets back to having a goal. Covey says that all things are created twice, first in the mind and then in the physical.

He talks about the difference between leadership and management. His metaphor to explain this is to imagine cutting a path through the jungle. The leader chooses the path, the manager are the ones cutting through the undergrowth.

This is the chapter where he goes into why and how to make a Personal Mission Statement.

This habit is about leadership, starting with leadership of yourself.
