The 8th habit and Strategy 1

Interesting that I have started reading Covey’s “8th Habit” and, this morning, he talks about his 4 intelligences/capacities.
 

 
They are:
 

 
a. Mental Intelligence (IQ) – what we can do with our brains
 

 
b. Physical/Economic Intelligence (PQ) – what we can do with our bodies
 

 
c. Emotional/Social Intelligence (EQ) – what we can do with our hearts
 

 
d. Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) – what we can do with our soul
 

 
And that the “complete” person is able to engage all 4 in an effective way to “live, learn, love and leave a legacy” (that was the 7 habits outcome) and to “find your voice and inspire others to find their voice” – the 8th habit.
 

 
I realise that, in Strategy 1 of my own programmes, I ask for the annual retreat to engage all 4 intelligences.
 

 
IQ = 3 -year vision
 

 
PQ = 12-month plan and 90-day goals and spreadsheets
 

 
EQ = personal and professional mission statements
 

 
SQ = work/life balance = calendar
