Trust is a function of both character and competence. Of course you can't trust someone who lacks integrity, but if someone is honest but they can't perform, you're not going to trust them either. You won't trust them to get the job done.
Stephen Covey
Image
When we value correct principles, we have truth - a knowledge of things as they are.
Stephen Covey

If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.

Stephen Covey
Image
Above all, success in business requires two things: a winning competitive strategy, and superb organizational execution. Distrust is the enemy of both. I submit that while high trust won't necessarily rescue a poor strategy, low trust will almost always derail a good one.
Stephen Covey
Image
I am convinced that if we as a society work diligently in every other area of life and neglect the family, it would be analogous to straightening deck chairs on the Titanic.

Image
In this knowledge-worker age, it's now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs - so the pressure to do well is really high.
Stephen Covey
Image
When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.
Stephen Covey
Image
All the well-meaning advice in the world won't amount to a hill of beans if we're not even addressing the real problem.
Stephen Covey
Image
Management is clearly different from leadership. Leadership is primarily a high-powered, right-brain activity. It's more of an art it's based on a philosophy. You have to ask the ultimate questions of life when you're dealing with personal leadership issues.
Stephen Covey
Image
The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires.
Stephen Covey
Image
I think the most significant work we'll do in our whole life, in our whole world is done within the four walls of our home.
