More quotes by 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
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
It takes courage to realize that you are greater than your moods, greater than your thoughts, and that you can control your moods and thoughts.

When parents see their children's problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well.
Stephen Covey
Effective people stay out of Quadrants III and IV because, urgent or not, they aren't important. They also shrink Quadrant I down to size by spending more time in Quadrant II...Quadrant II is the heart of effective personal management.
Stephen Covey
The way we see the problem is the problem.
Stephen Covey
Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.
Stephen Covey
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
Stephen Covey
Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.
Stephen Covey
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
Stephen Covey
Trust is the glue that holds everything together. It creates the environment in which all of the other elements win-win stewardship agreements, self-directing individuals and teams, aligned structures and systems, and accountability can flourish.
Stephen Covey
Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.
