More quotes by Stephen Covey
Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
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
It's better to be humbled by the word than by the force of circumstances.
Stephen Covey
An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.
Stephen Covey
The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires.
Stephen Covey
Proactive people carry their own weather with them.
Stephen Covey
Only 20 percent of employees working in large organizations surveyed feel their strengths are in play every day. Thus, eight our of ten employees surveyed feel somewhat miscast in their role.
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
Strategy is important, but trust is the hidden variable. On paper you can have clarity around your objectives, but in a low-trust environment, your strategy won't be executed.
Stephen Covey
True leadership is moral authority, not formal authority. Leadership is a choice, not a position. The choice is to follow universal timeless principles, which will build trust and respect from the entire organization. Those with formal authority alone will lose this trust and respect.
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 only way we can handle change around us is to know what is changeless about ourselves
Stephen Covey
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
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
Humility is the mother of all virtues, courage the father, integrity the child and wisdom the grandchild.
Stephen Covey
The greatest thing you can do for your children is love your spouse.
Stephen Covey
We must never be too busy to take time to sharpen the saw.
Stephen Covey
Leaders are not born or made - they are self made
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
It's incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall. It is possible to be busy - very busy - without being very effective.
