More quotes by Stephen Covey
Proactive people carry their own weather with them.
Stephen Covey
Principles don't die. They aren't here one day and gone the next. They can't be destroyed by fire, earthquake or theft. Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths.
Stephen Covey
We're often so busy cutting through the undergrowth we don't even realise we're in the wrong jungle.
Stephen Covey
The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
Stephen Covey
Perhaps a sense of possessing needs to come to come before a sense of genuine sharing.
Stephen Covey
We tend to get what we expect - both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more when we expect less, we tend to get less.
Stephen Covey
Balance isn't either/or it's 'and'.
Stephen Covey
Effective interdependence can only be built on true independence.
Stephen Covey
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
We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.
Stephen Covey
To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.
Stephen Covey
Synergy is better than my way or your way. It's our way.
Stephen Covey
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
It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.
Stephen Covey
When you have too many top priorities, you effectively have no top priorities.
Stephen Covey
It's not only a matter of when to do things, but whether or not to do them at all.
Stephen Covey
People and organizations don't grow much without delegation and completed staff work because they are confined to the capacities of the boss and reflect both personal strengths and weaknesses
Stephen Covey
Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition - such as lifting weights - we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.
Stephen Covey
What one thing could you do in your personal and professional life that, if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your life? Quadrant II activities have that kind of impact. Our effectiveness takes quantum leaps when we do them.
Stephen Covey
We think we see the world as it is, when in fact we see the world as we are.
