Stephen Covey
Image
We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.
Stephen Covey

'In empathic listening you listen with your ears, but you also, and more importantly, listen with you eyes and with your heart. You listen for feeling, for meaning. You listen for behaviour.

The only person over whom you have direct and immediate control is yourself. The most important assets to develop, preserve and enhance, therefore, are your own capabilities. And no one can do it for you. You must cultivate the habit of leadership effectiveness for yourself - and doing so will be the single best investment you will ever make.
Stephen Covey
Image
Leadership without mutual trust is a contradiction in terms.
Stephen Covey

The key to acting with integrity is to simply stop playing the game.
Stephen Covey
Image
It's not enough to have values without vision you want to be good, but you want to be good for something. On the other hand, vision without values can create a Hitler . An empowering mission statement deals with both character and competence what you want to be and what you want to do in your life.
Stephen Covey

Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
