BUS 600 Week 5 Assignment 1

Assignment 1

Chapter 4 – Organizational Behavior Summary and blogging

Through out the years, I’m exposed to scenario that required me to use Problem solving and decision making skill.

I would like to share my view of OB using example from what I learnt before:

“The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” – Steven R.Covey

Behavior is also known as Habit. The Habit consists of the skill/ knowledge/ desire. One need to focus these elements that will bring the whole organization to practice the following 7 Habits that brings effective and efficient end results to the company.

  1. Be proactive
    • Make the positive difference your self to improve lives and work process.
  2. Begin with the end in mind
    • Create/ set goal and long term goal.
  3. Put First thing first
    • Ensure time and effort is being spent in understanding your goals. Identify the workload division/ category/ criteria in order to meet the goal.
  4. Think win-win situation.
    • Seek agreements that benefit each other. Also, reward the win- win situation.
  5. Seek first to understand then to be understood.
    • An individual that understand the whole picture will get to be understood by people.
    • Willingness to accept and get input of bigger pictures.
  6. Synergize
    • Create trust and mutual understanding within the organization that can help to solve issues and avoid conflict.
  7. Sharpen the Saw
    • Re-visit and continue to improve.


Practicing these Habits will help to develop one to gain the leadership skill of setting Vision --> Commitment to deliver --> Managing the project.
