More quotes by Stephen Covey
Patience is emotional diligence.
Stephen Covey
When you have a challenge and the response is equal to the challenge, that's called 'success'. But once you have a new challenge, the old, once-successful response no longer works. That's why it is called a 'failure'.
Stephen Covey
What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?
Stephen Covey
I try to exercise regularly every day, if I can. It renews you and it gives you more balance in your life. This is a key leverage point.
Stephen Covey
The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don't have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.
Stephen Covey
To listen with empathy is the most important human skill.
Stephen Covey
Our behavior is governed by principles. Living in harmony with them brings positive consequences violating them brings negative consequences.
Stephen Covey
Response-ability is the ABILITY to choose our response to any circumstance or condition.
Stephen Covey
Effective communication is built on the cement of trust. And trust is based on trustworthiness, not politics.
Stephen Covey
The key to acting with integrity is to simply stop playing the game.
Stephen Covey
What one thing could you do in your personal and professional life that, if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your life? Quadrant II activities have that kind of impact. Our effectiveness takes quantum leaps when we do them.
Stephen Covey
Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
Stephen Covey
Win-win is a belief in the Third Alternative. It's not your way or my way it's a better way, a higher way.
Stephen Covey
Fundamentally, we are a product of choice, not nature (genes) or nurture (upbringing, environment).
Stephen Covey
If you don't choose to do it in leadership time up front, you do it in crisis management time down the road.
Stephen Covey
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.
Stephen Covey
I think that [respect for people] is of profound importance because it means you are caring and you trust them to do the right thing.
Stephen Covey
As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.
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
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
