More quotes by Stephen Covey
We may be very busy, we may be very 'efficient', but we will also be truly 'effective' only when we begin with the end in mind.
Stephen Covey
Over time, I have come to this simple definition of leadership: Leadership is getting results in a way that inspires trust.
Stephen Covey
Highly effective people tend to be proactive. They decide to find a better job or to have better health, rather than of responding to whatever curves life throws at them.
Stephen Covey
Seek to understand rather than be understood.
Stephen Covey
Would you not agree that relationships are built on trust? Would you not also agree that most individuals think more in terms of me-my wants, my needs, my rights? What would wisdom dictate - would it not direct us to focus on trust-building principles and sacrificing 'me' for 'we'?
Stephen Covey
When it comes to developing character strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home's potential for positive influence.
Stephen Covey
The ability to manage well doesn't make much difference if you're not even in the right jungle.
Stephen Covey
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person.
Stephen Covey
When we look through the lens of each others' weaknesses, we make others' strengths irrelevant and their weaknesses more evident.
Stephen Covey
Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less.
Stephen Covey
I believe that the habit of constant reading of good books and scholarly periodicals and magazines in many disciplines is vital to give a larger perspective and to constantly sense the interdependent nature of life.
Stephen Covey
Public behavior is merely private character writ large.
Stephen Covey
In our own lives, having a mind-set of expecting to win increases our odds of winning. It helps us get better results. And better results help us increase our credibility and self-confidence, which leads to more positive self-expectancy, and more winning - and the upward cycle continues. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Stephen Covey
Vision is about more than just getting things done, accomplishing some task, achieving something it is about discovering and expanding our view of others, affirming them, believing in them, and helping them discover and realize the potential within them-helping them find their own voice.
Stephen Covey
The reality is that everybody makes mistakes. The issue isn't whether you will make them, it's what you will do about them. It's whether you will choose the path of humility and courage or the path of ego and pride.
Stephen Covey
Nevertheless, the only way we can move from where we are now to where we would like to be is to accept where we are now.
Stephen Covey
If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control - myself.
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
The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is the key professional and personal competency of our time.
Stephen Covey
It comes from within.
