More quotes by Stephen Covey
Where there's no gardener, there's no garden.
Stephen Covey
Strategy is important, but trust is the hidden variable. On paper you can have clarity around your objectives, but in a low-trust environment, your strategy won't be executed.
Stephen Covey
It's not that we ignore our weaknesses rather, we make our weaknesses irrelevant by working effectively with others so that we compensate for our weaknesses through their strengths and they compensate for their weaknesses through our strengths.
Stephen Covey
Live the law of love. We encourage obedience to the laws of life when we live the laws of love.
Stephen Covey
Love is a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love the verb.
Stephen Covey
People and organizations don't grow much without delegation and completed staff work because they are confined to the capacities of the boss and reflect both personal strengths and weaknesses
Stephen Covey
To set and work toward any goal is an act of courage.
Stephen Covey
You can't change the fruit without changing the root.
Stephen Covey
I think that [respect for people] is of profound importance because it means you are caring and you trust them to do the right thing.
Stephen Covey
How you treat the one reveals how you regard the many, because everyone is ultimately a one.
Stephen Covey
You can't have the fruits without the roots. It's the principle of sequencing: Private Victories proceed Public Victories. Self-mastery and self-discipline are the foundation of good relationships with others.
Stephen Covey
Values determine behavior Principles determine the consequences of behavior.
Stephen Covey
The exercise of true leadership is inversely proportional to the exercise of power.
Stephen Covey
Do what is important, not what is urgent.
Stephen Covey
The commitments we make to ourselves and to others, and our integrity to those commitments, is the essence and clearest manifestation of our proactivity.
Stephen Covey
When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity.
Stephen Covey
It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.
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
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
Frustration is a function of our expectations, and our expectations are often a reflection of the social mirror rather than our own values and priorities.
