Question
The 'inside-out' approach is a philosophy that Stephen Covey presents in his book 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People'. It suggests that change must start from within oneself for it to be effective. Instead of trying to change the circumstances or people around us, we should focus on our own perceptions, character, and behavior. This approach is about self-examination and self-improvement. It's about being proactive and taking responsibility for our actions. It's about understanding that we have the power to shape our own lives.

Covey considers this habit to be the most important principle for effective interpersonal relationships. This habit teaches us that by listening effectively, without filtering what we hear with our own biases and views, we can understand the other person's view before presenting our own. This understanding creates an atmosphere of empathy and a commitment to resolution.
