More quotes by Stephen Covey
Your economic security does not lie in your job it lies in your own power to produce - to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That's true financial independence. It's not having wealth it's having the power to produce wealth.
Stephen Covey
The environment you fashion out of your thoughts, your beliefs, your ideals, your philosophy is the only climate you will ever live in. The key is in not spending time, but in investing it.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Do what is important, not what is urgent.
Stephen Covey

Treat them all the same by treating them differently.
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
Management is formal authority given from above. Leadership is moral authority given from below and all around.
Stephen Covey
What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?
Stephen Covey
But borrowing strength builds weakness.
Stephen Covey
Effective people do two things: they strive to do excellent work, and they prioritize.
Stephen Covey
The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
Stephen Covey
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand they listen with the intent to reply.
