More quotes by Stephen Covey
It's not only a matter of when to do things, but whether or not to do them at all.
Stephen Covey
The only person over whom you have direct and immediate control is yourself. The most important assets to develop, preserve and enhance, therefore, are your own capabilities. And no one can do it for you. You must cultivate the habit of leadership effectiveness for yourself - and doing so will be the single best investment you will ever make.
Stephen Covey
Success comes from the ability to view each arising problem as an opportunity for self improvement.
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
One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present.
Stephen Covey
Results matter! They matter to your credibility.
Stephen Covey
Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven't paid the price to decide what is really important to them.
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
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
To judge individuals before understanding them is a form of human rejection and feeds upon itself.
Stephen Covey
If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control - myself.
Stephen Covey
Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
Stephen Covey
Vision is about more than just getting things done, accomplishing some task, achieving something it is about discovering and expanding our view of others, affirming them, believing in them, and helping them discover and realize the potential within them-helping them find their own voice.
Stephen Covey
If we know how to listen to our own heart, we can listen to the hearts of others.
Stephen Covey
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
Stephen Covey
You can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is.
Stephen Covey
Common sense is not always common practice.
Stephen Covey
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
Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen Covey
An abundance mentality springs from internal security, not from external rankings, comparisons, opinions, possessions, or associations.
