More quotes by Stephen Covey
Seek to understand rather than be understood.
Stephen Covey
Involve people in the problem and work out the solution together.
Stephen Covey
Above all, success in business requires two things: a winning competitive strategy, and superb organizational execution. Distrust is the enemy of both. I submit that while high trust won't necessarily rescue a poor strategy, low trust will almost always derail a good one.
Stephen Covey
Values determine behavior Principles determine the consequences of behavior.
Stephen Covey
Personal leadership is the process of keeping your vision and values before you and aligning your life to be congruent with them.
Stephen Covey
..people are working harder than ever, but because they lack clarity and vision, they aren’t getting very far. They, in essence, are pushing a rope...with all of their might.
Stephen Covey
If you don't set your goals based upon your Mission Statement, you may be climbing the ladder of success only to realize, when you get to the top, you're on the WRONG building.
Stephen Covey
Be proactive. Ask yourself, Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?
Stephen Covey
If you don't choose to do it in leadership time up front, you do it in crisis management time down the road.
Stephen Covey
I know it is possible not only to restore trust but to actually enhance it. The difficult things that we got through with the important people in our lives can become fertile ground for the growth of enduring trust - trust that is actually stronger because it's been tested and proved through challenge.
Stephen Covey
I believe that correct principles are natural laws, and that God, the Creator and Father of us all, is the source of them, and also the source of our conscience. I believe that to the degree people live by this inspired conscience, they will grow to fulfill their natures to the degree that they do not, they will not rise above the animal plane.
Stephen Covey
How you treat the one reveals how you regard the many, because everyone is ultimately a one.
Stephen Covey
A moment of choice is a moment of truth. It's the testing point of our character and competence.
Stephen Covey
The personal power that comes from principle-centered living is the power of a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual, unrestricted by the attitudes, behaviors, and actions of others or by many of the circumstances and environmental influences that limit other people.
Stephen Covey
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.
Stephen Covey
The key to the 99 is the one. Or, put another way, the key to the group is the one individual. Think about the one, talk to the one, regard the one, serve the one. If you are sincere and constant, you will discover that gradually your influence with the many will be magnified.
Stephen Covey
What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?
Stephen Covey
Sacrifice really means giving up something good for something better.
Stephen Covey
What is important to another person must be as important to you as the other person is to you
Stephen Covey
It's better to be humbled by the word than by the force of circumstances.
Stephen Covey
