Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking.
Stephen Covey
Image
When a person has access to both the intuitive, creative and visual right brain, and the analytical, logical, verbal left brain, then the whole brain is working...And this tool is best suited to the reality of what life is, because life is not just logical-it is also emotional.
Stephen Covey
Image
If we can't make and keep commitments to ourselves as well as to others, our commitments become meaningless.
Stephen Covey
Image
Self-mastery and self-discipline are the foundation of good relationships with others.

Your economic security does not lie in your job it lies in your own power to produce - to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That's true financial independence. It's not having wealth it's having the power to produce wealth.
Stephen Covey

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
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
Image
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.

How many on their deathbeds wished they'd spent more time at the office - or watching TV? The answer is, No one.
Stephen Covey
Image
Management is clearly different from leadership. Leadership is primarily a high-powered, right-brain activity. It's more of an art it's based on a philosophy. You have to ask the ultimate questions of life when you're dealing with personal leadership issues.

Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love, the verb.
Stephen Covey
Image
If we spend most of our time concerned about things we cannot truly directly influence, what we can influence will be reduced. If we spend our energies on those things over which we can expect positive results, we will expand our influence.

Trust is the glue in relationships and organizations

The key to the 99 is the one. Or, put another way, the key to the group is the one individual. Think about the one, talk to the one, regard the one, serve the one. If you are sincere and constant, you will discover that gradually your influence with the many will be magnified.
