The first three Habits of the effective people are aimed at self-awareness and understanding of oneself. The second group of habits in the concept concerns the interaction of a person with other people. The topic is extremely complex and multi-layered. Before you continue, you must understand one very significant condition mentioned by the author, which states that the effective interaction with others can only be built on the basis of genuine personal autonomy achieved through the first three habits. Or, in other words, we can better interact with others only if we know who we are and have a good relationship with ourselves. Only then, we can truly turn our attention to the others and seek effective ways to interact with them.
