3. Seminar for Young Researchers to Enhance Transferable Research Capabilities: The 7 Habits

The Human Resources Development Division (I-HoP) is pleased to announce a seminar for young researchers (MC, DC, PD, etc.) to improve their transferable skills. The seminar will be conducted in English.

"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by FranklinCovey Japan

The "7 Habits®" program is based on the principles of "The 7 Habits®," a book and training program known worldwide. "The 7 Habits" was compiled by American scientist Stephen R. Covey (1932-2012) after he examined the lives, thoughts, and actions of prominent figures and historical figures around the world, summarizing the seven habits they all shared. "The 7 Habits®" is studied by a large number of people around the world, from children to adults.
