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.
Stephen Covey

What is important to another person must be as important to you as the other person is to you
Stephen Covey
Image
Instead, I have an abundance mentality: When people are genuinely happy at the successes of others, the pie gets larger.
