More quotes by Stephen Covey
Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen Covey
In our own lives, having a mind-set of expecting to win increases our odds of winning. It helps us get better results. And better results help us increase our credibility and self-confidence, which leads to more positive self-expectancy, and more winning - and the upward cycle continues. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Stephen Covey
When we say that leadership is a choice, it basically means you can choose the level of initiative you want to exercise in response to the question, ‘What is the best I can do under the given circumstances?’
Stephen Covey
Live the law of love. We encourage obedience to the laws of life when we live the laws of love.
Stephen Covey
The greatest thing you can do for your children is love your spouse.
Stephen Covey
To ignore the unexpected (even if it were possible) would be to live without opportunity, spontaneity, and the rich moments of which life is made.
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
It's not only a matter of when to do things, but whether or not to do them at all.
Stephen Covey
By behaving in ways that build trust with one, you build trust with many.
Stephen Covey
Involve people in the problem and work out the solution together.
Stephen Covey
What one thing could you do in your personal and professional life that, if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your life? Quadrant II activities have that kind of impact. Our effectiveness takes quantum leaps when we do them.
Stephen Covey
Strategy is important, but trust is the hidden variable. On paper you can have clarity around your objectives, but in a low-trust environment, your strategy won't be executed.
Stephen Covey
Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.
Stephen Covey
The most effective way I know to begin with the end in mind is to develop a personal mission statement or philosophy or creed. It focused on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values or principles upon which being and doing are based.
Stephen Covey
Vital to quality of life is the ability to work together, learn from each other, and help each other grow.
Stephen Covey
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
Stephen Covey
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
Stephen Covey
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Stephen Covey
The highest challenge inside organizations is to enable each person to contribute his or her unique talents and passion to accomplish the organization's purpose.
Stephen Covey
You can't have the fruits without the roots.
