- How does the presence of Randall change Mike and make him REACT?
HABIT #3: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
When Sulley and Mike return to Monsters Inc after the first night of "escape" what does Sulley do to show where his
priority is?
After the first night of "escape," Sulley's priorities were not to deteriorate his image in the enterprise, not to lose his job and return Boo to her home. For that, he dressed Boo as a monster and he asked for Mike's help. In the end, Sulley returned the little girl to her house.
HABIT #3: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
When Sulley ski's down the mountain what has become his main priority?
I think Sulley's priority was to find Boo and apologize to her for scaring her as Randall did. After seeing Boo's reaction, Sulley realized that he was not doing the things correctly and because of that, he apologized to her. Sulley's decision was also a proactive decision, because he realized that he was doing the things wrong, he through about it and finally changed his mind and decided not to scare children anymore.
HABIT #4: THINK WIN-WIN
When Mike first sees any door, how is this WIN-WIN idea only short term?
Mike's idea of WIN-WIN, in my opinion, is that he wants to get the best scare record but at the same time, Mike and Sulley were making the Monsters Inc enterprise also win by getting energy with the children's shout.
HABIT #4: THINK WIN-WIN
What major obstacle happens to Mike and Sulley to destroy any idea or chance of WIN-WIN?
The main obstacle that happened to Mike and Sulley was to meet Boo. Thank's to her, Sulley realized that by scaring children he wins but children lose and that is not the goal of life. Therefore, at the end of the film, Sulley changes the enterprise's function. Instead of it consisting of scaring children, it consists of making children laugh. Like that, he gets a WIN-WIN attitude.
HABIT #4: THINK WIN-WIN
When Mike returns to the Monsters, Inc. Factory, as Sulley is being beaten up by Randall, how does he reason his behaviour in the Himalayas and turn the situation into one of WIN-WIN?
Mike returned to Monsters, Inc factory to speak with Sulley and tell him that it did not seem right that Sulley left him alone in the Himalayas, but that their friendship is bigger than anything. Thanks to Mike's sincerity, Sulley and Mike turned the situation into one of WIN-WIN.
Mike is a very happy monster with joy and excitment. When Randall comes he is scared and isn't the same. Instead of ignoring him and carrying on he is scared and keeps making fun of him in anger. This makes him Reactive.
- What specifically does it cause him to do?
Mike is intimidated by Randall and how he schemes around. He causes him to shy away from any conflict with randall.
4.Why is this behavior "NOT WORTH IT"
It will show Randall you are reactive and give him a response. This will cause Randall to try and get more of a reaction out of Mike. If mike shows he is vulnerable Randall will show his dominance and get Mike to do what he wants.
- Prior to the beginning of the workday, What does sully do to be PROACTIVE?
Sully gets prepared by doing push ups and stups to get the blood flowing. He practices situations where the room is booby trapped. He also practices his roar and perfects his craft.
- How does Randall show example of DEFECTIVE actions of Habit #1
Randall blames all the failure on his partner. He never takes blame for the wrong in the situations. He also cheats by getting more scream cans and he knows it is wrong.
- What causes Sulley to change from being PROACTIVE to being REACTIVE?
He turned reactive when sully saw Boos reaction when he scared the simulator child. He realized he doesn't like scaring and cared about Boo. He also left Mike although Mike has done so uch for Sully.
8.During the "Kid-Tastrophe" What causes Mike and Sully to show they are not being PROACTIVE.

They only thought about getting out and not worrying about the other monsters. They also only really cared about their job and not so much the safety of others.

9.At the end of the movie what shows Mike life attitude is PROACTIVE.
Because he looks at a problem and doesn't run from the issues he tries to solve them and sacrifice. He also tried making children laugh with "Funny Jokes" but when the kid didn't laugh he tried harder and harder to make them laugh until he succeeded.
HABIT #2: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
- In the beginning of Part one of Monsters Inc, Mike and Sulley have one goal, what is it?
The goal is to hold the largest number of screams and to stay ahead of Randall.

When they met the little girl named Boo who isn't like all the onsters think. Their goal is to retur her home instead of turning her in because she isnt a monster.
