OA Book Club: Discussion Questions for "The 8th Habit"
As you read the book this month, here are some questions to think about and discuss. I am grouping each question by chapter to make it easier.

  • Chapter 1 - Look at the voices on page 1 of the book. Do you relate to any of these voices?
  • Chapter 2 - Describe a paradigm that you think others have of you.
  • Chapter 3 - Deep within each of us is a inner longing to live a life of greatness and contribution. In what areas of your life do you feel you have found your voice.
  • Chapter 4 - What example can you think of on how the law of the harvest contrasts with our culture of quick fixes, victimism, and blame?
  • Chapter 5 - How do you manifest the four intelligences now? How could you manifest them?
  • Chapter 6 - What is the difference between managing and leading? When should you use each?
  • Chapter 7 - In your own words/way, what is a trim-tab leader?
  • Chapter 8 - "90% of all leadership failures are character failures." Do you agree/disagree? Why/why not?
  • Chapter 9 - Which of the 10 Deposits do you currently practice? Which of them do you find difficult to do?
  • Chapter 10 - What is the 3rd Alternative? How do/can you practice it?
  • Chapter 11 - Describe a pathfinding challenge you have faced. How did it go?
  • Chapter 12 - Would you say that your company and employees are align with stated/publicized goals, vision, mission? If not, why do you think that is?
  • Chapter 13 - Why is empowerment so difficult to do?
  • Chapter 14 - Choose two of the six core drivers and description a specific time when that driver was executed well or not executed well. (May refer to your company, team or family).
  • Chapter 15 - How does moral authority promote servant-leadership?
  • Overall Question - What did you learn and how can you apply it to your daily/weekly world and/or life?

Apologies if these are too much. Feel free to pick one chapter's questions or do them all. Looking forward to the discussion.
