More quotes by Stephen Covey
While values drive behaviors, principles govern consequences.
Stephen Covey
Vital to quality of life is the ability to work together, learn from each other, and help each other grow.

Only as we keep an open communication with our deep inner life will we have the wisdom to make effective choices.

Studies have identified a significant 'skills gap' between what students are currently being taught and the skills employers are seeking in today's global economy. Our children must be better prepared than they are now to meet the future challenges of our ever-changing world.
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
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

Stephen Covey
To listen with empathy is the most important human skill.
Stephen Covey
An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.
Stephen Covey
It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it.
Stephen Covey
