More quotes by Stephen Covey
Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall.
Stephen Covey
If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control - myself.
Stephen Covey
An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.
Stephen Covey
The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
Stephen Covey
When the trust is high, you get the trust dividend. Investors invest in brands people trust. Consumers buy more from companies they trust, they spend more with companies they trust, they recommend companies they trust, and they give companies they trust the benefit of the doubt when things go wrong.
Stephen Covey
The key to growth is to learn to make promises and to keep them.
Stephen Covey
To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.
Stephen Covey
An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.
Stephen Covey
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
Stephen Covey
The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass - when what we do doesn't contribute to what is most important in our lives.
Stephen Covey
When you have a challenge and the response is equal to the challenge, that's called 'success'. But once you have a new challenge, the old, once-successful response no longer works. That's why it is called a 'failure'.
Stephen Covey
True effectiveness is a function of two things: what is produced (the golden eggs) and the producing asset (the goose).
Stephen Covey
It's like the more you know the more you know you don't know.
Stephen Covey
Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, treating people with respect.
Stephen Covey
You can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is.
Stephen Covey
Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them
Stephen Covey
It's not that we ignore our weaknesses rather, we make our weaknesses irrelevant by working effectively with others so that we compensate for our weaknesses through their strengths and they compensate for their weaknesses through our strengths.
Stephen Covey
Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.
Stephen Covey
Strength lies in differences, not in similarities
Stephen Covey
When one side benefits more than the other, that's a win-lose situation. To the winner it might look like success for a while, but in the long run, it breeds resentment and distrust.
