More quotes by Stephen Covey
Over time, I have come to this simple definition of leadership: Leadership is getting results in a way that inspires trust.
Stephen Covey
We must look at the lens through we see the world, as well as the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.
Stephen Covey
A long, healthy, and happy life is the result of making contributions, of having meaningful projects that are personally exciting and contribute to and bless the lives of others.
Stephen Covey
Perhaps the greatest role of parenting, more than directing and telling children what to do, [is] helping [children] connect with their own gifts, particularly conscience.
Stephen Covey
All the well-meaning advice in the world won't amount to a hill of beans if we're not even addressing the real problem.
Stephen Covey
We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations
Stephen Covey
Live the law of love. We encourage obedience to the laws of life when we live the laws of love.
Stephen Covey
Begin with the end in mind.
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 ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person. Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values - carefully thought about, selected and internalized values.
Stephen Covey
The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.
Stephen Covey
It comes from within.
Stephen Covey
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
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
You can retire from a job, but don't ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.
Stephen Covey
Spiritual Intelligence represents our drive for meaning and connection with the infinite.
Stephen Covey
Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your emotional anchorage, your self-esteem, your basic personal strength or lack of it.
Stephen Covey
It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.
Stephen Covey
Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Stephen Covey
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.
