Stephen Covey

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

Stephen Covey
The key to acting with integrity is to simply stop playing the game.
Stephen Covey
In a very real sense, there are only two roles in organisations: customers and suppliers. Everybody functions simultaneously in both roles, whether inside or outside the organisation the essence of good business, therefore, is the quality of the relationship between customer and supplier.
Stephen Covey
We can never really change someone people must change themselves.
Stephen Covey
What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. There are people we trust because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have human-relations techniques or not, we trust them and work with them.
Stephen Covey
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
Stephen Covey
Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust. Nothing is as fulfilling as a relationship of trust. Nothing is as inspiring as an offering of trust. Nothing is as profitable as the economics of trust. Nothing has more influence than a reputation of trust.
Stephen Covey
