Assignment 5: The Energetics of Personal Relationships

What does Covey mean by the Emotional Bank Account? Give an example from your own experience that illustrates this concept. Your example can be a positive or a not so positive experience.

Consider which relationships in your life in which you sense that your emotional bank account is in the red with that person. Give examples paralleling 3 of the 6 deposits from your personal, professional, or school life in which you could get these relationships into the black, and consciously improve your interpersonal relationships.

Describe a situation in your life that could have benefited from a Win/Win approach described in Habit 4. Do you agree that this is the best alternative, or do you disagree with the win/win concept?
