A mission statement is not something you write overnight... But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
Stephen Covey
Image
It is extremely ironic that the more we care about what people think about us the less we care about people, and the less we care about what people think about us the more we begin to care for others

We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.
Stephen Covey

The way we see the problem is the problem.
Stephen Covey
Image
The person who is truly effective has the humility and reverence to recognize his own perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction with the hearts and minds of other human beings.
Stephen Covey
Image
The role of the leader is to foster mutual respect and build a complementary team where each strength is made productive and each weakness irrelevant.
Stephen Covey
Image
What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. There are people we trust because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have human-relations techniques or not, we trust them and work with them.
Stephen Covey
Image
Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is futile.
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.
