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
The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.
Stephen Covey
Vision is about more than just getting things done, accomplishing some task, achieving something it is about discovering and expanding our view of others, affirming them, believing in them, and helping them discover and realize the potential within them-helping them find their own voice.
Stephen Covey
Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.
Stephen Covey
Synergy is better than my way or your way. It's our way.
