正文：

In Part 1 of this blog I wrote about the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Written by Stephen R. Covey (1932-2012) in 1989, this extremely popular self-help book has sold more than 25 million copies. I feel strongly that Covey’s ideas can be adapted by Lean Six Sigma practitioners at all levels – Green Belts, Black Belts, Master Black Belts, Sponsors, even Champions. In fact, many existing LSS tools and concepts are complementary to Covey’s approach.

在本博客中，我曾写了关于高效人士的七个习惯的第一部分。《高效人士的七个习惯》一书由斯蒂芬 R.柯维（1932-2012）在1989年所著，这本自助类的书籍极其畅销，已经发行了大约2500万册。我个人强烈地认为，柯维的思想可以被包括绿带、黑带、黑带大师、支持者，甚至倡导者在内的各个层级的精益六西格玛的从业人员所借鉴。实际上，许多现有的精益六西格玛工具与思想，都与柯维的方法论相辅相成。

In the first part of the blog I covered some of the origins of the book, which are linked to the U. S. bicentennial in 1976. Most of that blog was focused on the Urgency-Importance Matrix and Quadrant 2 Activities. You can read Part 1 by going to this link.

在博客的第一部分，涵盖了该书的起源，《高效人士的七个习惯》作者柯维仔细研究了从1776年到1976年这200年间数以百计的关于成功的文章与书籍。上一次博客关注的重点是紧急重要性矩阵和处在第二象限的活动。你可以通过进入这个链接阅读第1部分（第一部分译文链接在：【职场英文】重温高效人士的“七个习惯”）。

Before exploring the 7 Habits in more depth I would like to step back to cover what is meant by habit. Stephen Covey was very specific in his description of this word:

在深入探讨这7个习惯之前，我想先回顾一下习惯的含义。斯蒂芬 R.柯维在以下这句话中给出了的非常具体的描述：

“For our purposes, we will define a habit as the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge is the theoretical paradigm, the what to do and the why. Skill is the how to do. And desire is the motivation, the want to do. In order to make something a habit in our lives, we have to have all three.”

对我们而言，我们将“习惯”定义为知识、技能和意愿这三者的交点。知识是理论范式，是做什么和为什么做的；技能是怎么做；意愿则是动机，是想要去做。为了让某件事成为我们生活中的一种习惯，我们必须具备知识、技能和意愿。

Covey used a Venn diagram to illustrate this definition:

柯维使用了一副维恩图来进行说明“习惯”的定义：

Now that we are clear on what is meant by Habit, what are the Seven Habits? Here they are, as presented by Covey:

现在，我们都清楚地知道了习惯的含义，那么什么是七个习惯呢？以下就是柯维博士提出的“七个习惯”：

1.Be Proactive

积极主动

2.Begin With The End in Mind

以终为始

3.Put First Things First

要事第一

4.Think Win-Win

双赢思维

5.Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood

知彼解己

6.Synergize

协作增效

7.Sharpen The Saw

不断更新

Here then is a table of the 7 Habits with Covey’s original intent and as viewed through a Lean Six Sigma lens:

让我们通过下图来看柯维博士提出的“7个习惯”的原意，以及精益六西格玛的镜头下的“七个习惯”：

For many LSS belts these tools and methods will be very familiar. But are you really using them consistently? Or are you skipping steps or taking shortcuts? True effectiveness on an ongoing basis requires a real commitment to all seven of these Habits.

对于很多精益六西格玛的绿带、黑带及黑带大师们来说，以上列出的工具与方法都是如数家珍。问题是，你是不是真的持续地使用了它们？或者你跳过了其中的一些步骤，甚至走了所谓的捷径？持续有效的基础，需要真正致力于以上列出的“七个习惯”。

The impact of applying these Seven Habits on your career can be profound. And on your career beyond LSS – indeed, even on your life.

运用这七种习惯，对你的职业生涯，以及六西格玛以外的职业，甚至生活上，都会产生深远的影响。
