More quotes by Stephen Covey
Principles are deep fundamental truths... lightly interwoven threads running with exactness, consistency, beauty and strength through the fabric of life.
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 immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.
Stephen Covey
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
I am senting many books for endorsement purposes, which enables me to stay relevant in my own field, and I have people that help me decide which ones I should read and endorse.
Stephen Covey
Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
Stephen Covey
Empathy takes time, and efficiency is for things, not people.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Only after we can learn to forgive ourselves can we accept others as they are because we don't feel threatened by anything about them which is better than us.
Stephen Covey
Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Stephen Covey
Personal leadership is the process of keeping your vision and values before you and aligning your life to be congruent with them.
Stephen Covey
If you carefully consider what you want to be said of you in the funeral experience, you will find your definition of success.
Stephen Covey
Studies have identified a significant 'skills gap' between what students are currently being taught and the skills employers are seeking in today's global economy. Our children must be better prepared than they are now to meet the future challenges of our ever-changing world.
Stephen Covey
Be proactive. Ask yourself, Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?
Stephen Covey
Proactive people carry their own weather with them.
Stephen Covey
If we want to make a change in our lives, we should first focus on our personal attitudes and behaviors.
Stephen Covey
Management is formal authority given from above. Leadership is moral authority given from below and all around.
Stephen Covey
