More quotes by Stephen Covey
It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.
Stephen Covey
True effectiveness is a function of two things: what is produced (the golden eggs) and the producing asset (the goose).
Stephen Covey
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are.
Stephen Covey
When your happiness comes primarily from the happiness of others, you know you have moved from a 'me' experience to a 'we' experience. And the whole problem-solving and opportunity-seizing process changes.
Stephen Covey
Putting first things first means organizing and executing around your most important priorities. It is living and being driven by the principles you value most, not by the agendas and forces surrounding you.
Stephen Covey
Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs. Don't ignore that longing to make a difference.
Stephen Covey
Balance isn't either/or it's 'and'.
Stephen Covey
Most people define greatness through wealth and popularity and position in the corner office. But what I call everyday greatness comes from character and contribution.
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
Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven't paid the price to decide what is really important to them.
Stephen Covey
To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.
Stephen Covey
To listen with empathy is the most important human skill.
Stephen Covey
The ability to manage well doesn't make much difference if you're not even in the right jungle.
Stephen Covey
Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus.
Stephen Covey
The way we see the problem is the problem.
Stephen Covey
The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires.
Stephen Covey
Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust. Nothing is as fulfilling as a relationship of trust. Nothing is as inspiring as an offering of trust. Nothing is as profitable as the economics of trust. Nothing has more influence than a reputation of trust.
Stephen Covey
The universal elements are integrity, vision, discipline, passion, governed by conscience. Conscience has been educated through studying and pondering the universal, timeless principles of all six major world religions.
Stephen Covey
The greatest thing you can do for your children is love your spouse.
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.
