More quotes by 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
The most effective way I know to begin with the end in mind is to develop a personal mission statement or philosophy or creed. It focused on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values or principles upon which being and doing are based.
Stephen Covey
It's not what people do to us that hurts us. In the most fundamental sense, it is our chosen response to what they do to us that hurts us.
Stephen Covey
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
Consequences are governed by principles, and behavior is governed by values therefore, value principles!

Spiritual Intelligence represents our drive for meaning and connection with the infinite.
Stephen Covey
Our greatest joy and our greatest pain comes in our relationships with others.
Stephen Covey
I know it is possible not only to restore trust but to actually enhance it. The difficult things that we got through with the important people in our lives can become fertile ground for the growth of enduring trust - trust that is actually stronger because it's been tested and proved through challenge.
Stephen Covey
This is the single most powerful investment we can ever make in life—investment in ourselves, in the only instrument we have with which to deal with life and to contribute.
Stephen Covey
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it's like giving them emotional oxygen.
Stephen Covey
Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.
Stephen Covey
You have two ears and one mouth. Use them accordingly.
Stephen Covey
The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.
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
It takes courage to realize that you are greater than your moods, greater than your thoughts, and that you can control your moods and thoughts.
Stephen Covey
All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.
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 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
What is common sense isn't common practice.
