More quotes by Stephen Covey
I believe that correct principles are natural laws, and that God, the Creator and Father of us all, is the source of them, and also the source of our conscience. I believe that to the degree people live by this inspired conscience, they will grow to fulfill their natures to the degree that they do not, they will not rise above the animal plane.
Stephen Covey
Trust is the glue that holds everything together. It creates the environment in which all of the other elements win-win stewardship agreements, self-directing individuals and teams, aligned structures and systems, and accountability can flourish.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
We're often so busy cutting through the undergrowth we don't even realise we're in the wrong jungle.
Stephen Covey
It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.
Stephen Covey
The best way to develop courage is to set a goal and achieve it, make a promise and keep it.
Stephen Covey
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
Don't cheat people of their growth. Empower them to solve problems and generate ideas. Watch them grow!
Stephen Covey
It's better to be humbled by the word than by the force of circumstances.
Stephen Covey
People who end up with the good jobs are the proactive ones who are solutions to problems, not problems themselves, who seize the initiative to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.
Stephen Covey
In the absence of wake-up calls, many of us never really confront the critical issues of life.
Stephen Covey
When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.
Stephen Covey
There's strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.
