A moment of choice is a moment of truth.
Stephen Covey
Image
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
Do what is important, not what is urgent.
Stephen Covey
Image
When we value correct principles, we have truth - a knowledge of things as they are.
Stephen Covey
Image
As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.
Stephen Covey
Image
We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.
Stephen Covey
Image
Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs. Don't ignore that longing to make a difference.
Stephen Covey
Image
The way we see the problem is the problem.
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
Independent thinking alone is not suited to interdependent reality.
Stephen Covey
Image
Where there's no gardener, there's no garden.
Stephen Covey
Image
To judge someone before understanding that person is a form of human rejection and feeds upon itself. It intensifies personal insecurities, necessitating more judgment (prejudice) and less understanding. The processes continue in this vicious cycle.
Stephen Covey
Image
Would you not agree that relationships are built on trust? Would you not also agree that most individuals think more in terms of me-my wants, my needs, my rights? What would wisdom dictate - would it not direct us to focus on trust-building principles and sacrificing 'me' for 'we'?
Stephen Covey
Image
Keeping a personal journal a daily in-depth analysis and evaluation of your experiences is a high-leverage activity that increases self-awareness and enhances all the endowments and the synergy among them.
Stephen Covey
Image
If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.
Stephen Covey
Image
We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.
Stephen Covey
Image
We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.
Stephen Covey
Image
The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is the key professional and personal competency of our time.
Stephen Covey
Image
Love is a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love the verb.
Stephen Covey
Image
We exhaust ourselves more from the tension and the consequences of internal disharmony than from hard, unremitting work.
