Circle of Control and Influence

In Stephen Covey’s book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, he explains the idea of “Circle of Concern” and “Circle of Influence”. Some of our concerns are things we have a degree of control over, and some we do not.

Covey suggests the we focus our energy on the inner circle. This is part of being “Proactive”, which is Habit 1. We encourage our Wolf Pups to “Be Proactive” and we communicate that they are in control of their own moods, actions, and thoughts. This promotes self- discipline and self-management.

This model can also be helpful when considering our current conditions. Covey believed that when we focus on the inner circle items, we increase positivity and are more productive. A simplistic example of this would be: “I cannot control if it rains, but I can decide whether or not to play in it”. If this speaks to you, take some time to think about what things are in and out of your control right now and which concerns you are focusing your energy on.
