First complete this survey
Second, review these Three PowerPoints (I broke the presentation into 3 parts so that the file does not become too large):
Third – Assess yourself — Are You A Principle Centered Leader?
In chapter 1 of Principle-Centered Leadership (Covey, 1991), Covey lists the following characteristics of principle-centered leaders. They strive to live out the Seven Habits: Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First things First, Think Win-Win, Seek first to Understand than be Understood, Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw.
Principle Centered Leadership is practiced from the inside-out on four levels: Personal (relationship with self), Interpersonal (relationship with others), managerial (responsibility to get things done with others), organizational (responsibility to recruit, train, compensate a team, create strategies, structure and systems to accomplish goals).
As per Seven Habits they live by the compass not the clock. Correct Principles are like a compass: they are always pointing the way. Principles are self-evident, self-validating natural laws, such as the Law of the Harvest.
Reference: Covey, S.R. (1991). Principle Centered Leadership. New York, NY: Simon and Schuster.

1. Which of these characteristics do you consistently demonstrate?
2. Which of these are a struggle for you?
3. What action steps can you take to improve in these areas?
4. What step will you take this week?
Fourth, assess yourself on how well you live the Seven Habits? Which habit is a struggle for you and which habit do you feel most confident about? (You should complete the Seven Habits survey included below).
Read each statement and, using your best judgment, circle the number that indicates how well you perform in the following categories.
