More quotes by Stephen Covey
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.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

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
It's not only a matter of when to do things, but whether or not to do them at all.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Spiritual Intelligence represents our drive for meaning and connection with the infinite.
Stephen Covey
Leadership without mutual trust is a contradiction in terms.
Stephen Covey
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
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
We not not our feelings. We are not our moods. We not even our thoughts.
Stephen Covey
Be proactive. Ask yourself, Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?
Stephen Covey
It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.
Stephen Covey
We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.
