More quotes by Stephen Covey
Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs. Don't ignore that longing to make a difference.
Stephen Covey
It's better to be humbled by the word than by the force of circumstances.
Stephen Covey
Whether we are aware of it or not, whether we are in control of it or not, there is a first creation to every part of our lives. We are either the second creation of our own proactive design, or we are the second creation of other people's agendas, of circumstances, or of past habits.
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.
Stephen Covey
Putting first things first means organizing and executing around your most important priorities. It is living and being driven by the principles you value most, not by the agendas and forces surrounding you.
Stephen Covey
Trust is equal parts character and competence... You can look at any leadership failure, and it's always a failure of one or the other.
Stephen Covey
A life of integrity is the most fundamental source of personal worth.
Stephen Covey
When you have a challenge and the response is equal to the challenge, that's called 'success'. But once you have a new challenge, the old, once-successful response no longer works. That's why it is called a 'failure'.
Stephen Covey
Most people define greatness through wealth and popularity and position in the corner office. But what I call everyday greatness comes from character and contribution.
Stephen Covey
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
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
The key to growth is to learn to make promises and to keep them.
Stephen Covey
Unfortunately, too many executives believe the myths about trust. Myths like how trust is soft and is merely a social virtue. The reality is that trust is hard-edged and is an economic driver.
Stephen Covey
To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.
Stephen Covey
We could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.
Stephen Covey
Be proactive. Ask yourself, Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?
Stephen Covey
I think the most significant work we'll do in our whole life, in our whole world is done within the four walls of our home.
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.
Stephen Covey
Every exaggeration of the truth once detected by others destroys our credibility and makes all that we do and say suspect.
Stephen Covey
