More quotes by Stephen Covey
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it's like giving them emotional oxygen.
Stephen Covey
To maintain the P/PC Balance, the balance between the golden egg (production) and the health and welfare of the goose (production capability) is often a difficult judgment call. But I suggest it is the very essence of effectiveness.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
A life of integrity is the most fundamental source of personal worth.
Stephen Covey
Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost daily in people's lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure.
Stephen Covey
It's not that we ignore our weaknesses rather, we make our weaknesses irrelevant by working effectively with others so that we compensate for our weaknesses through their strengths and they compensate for their weaknesses through our strengths.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
The exercise of true leadership is inversely proportional to the exercise of power.
Stephen Covey
Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Stephen Covey
The great apparent dichotomy is that the more we give, the more we get.
Stephen Covey
Trust is clearly a key competency. A competency or skill that can be learned, taught, and improved and one that talent can be screened for.
Stephen Covey
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
Stephen Covey
I know it is possible not only to restore trust but to actually enhance it. The difficult things that we got through with the important people in our lives can become fertile ground for the growth of enduring trust - trust that is actually stronger because it's been tested and proved through challenge.
Stephen Covey
The greatest and most inspiring mountain climbing achievements in history are not so much stories of individual achievement, but are stories of the extraordinary power of a unified, talented, prepared team that stays loyally committed to one another and to their shared vision to the end.
Stephen Covey
We must look at the lens through we see the world, as well as the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.
