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
Image
Principles are natural laws that are external to us and that ultimately control the consequences of our actions. Values are internal and subjective and represent that which we feel strongest about in guiding our behavior.

Once you overcome this comparison based mentality, your confidence will soar.

It's incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall. It is possible to be busy - very busy - without being very effective.

Win-win is a belief in the Third Alternative. It's not your way or my way it's a better way, a higher way.

Effective communication is built on the cement of trust. And trust is based on trustworthiness, not politics.

When one side benefits more than the other, that's a win-lose situation. To the winner it might look like success for a while, but in the long run, it breeds resentment and distrust.
