Synergy is better than my way or your way. It's our way.
Stephen Covey
Image
To maintain the P/PC Balance, the balance between the golden egg (production) and the health and welfare of the goose (production capability) is often a difficult judgment call. But I suggest it is the very essence of effectiveness.
Stephen Covey
Image
Start small, make a promise and keep it. Then, make larger promises and keep them. Eventually, your honor will become greater than your moods or your circumstances, which includes your medical condition and other people's stereotypic observations. Once you overcome this comparison based mentality, your confidence will soar.
Stephen Covey
Image
Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen Covey
Image
People behave more on the basis of how they feel than how they think unless there are good feelings between people, it is almost impossible to reason intelligently.
Stephen Covey
Image
If we want to make a change in our lives, we should first focus on our personal attitudes and behaviors.
Stephen Covey
Image
Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.
Stephen Covey
Image
When you have too many top priorities, you effectively have no top priorities.
Stephen Covey
Image
It's incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall. It is possible to be busy - very busy - without being very effective.
Stephen Covey
Image
Management is formal authority given from above. Leadership is moral authority given from below and all around.
Stephen Covey
Image
Nevertheless, the only way we can move from where we are now to where we would like to be is to accept where we are now.
Stephen Covey
Image
When one side benefits more than the other, that's a win-lose situation. To the winner it might look like success for a while, but in the long run, it breeds resentment and distrust.
Stephen Covey
Image
Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is the fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her.
Stephen Covey
Image
Trust is the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution.
Stephen Covey
Image
Over time, I have come to this simple definition of leadership: Leadership is getting results in a way that inspires trust.
Stephen Covey
Image
Above all, success in business requires two things: a winning competitive strategy, and superb organizational execution. Distrust is the enemy of both. I submit that while high trust won't necessarily rescue a poor strategy, low trust will almost always derail a good one.
Stephen Covey
Image
Most leaders would agree that they’d be better off having an average strategy with superb execution than a superb strategy with poor execution. Those who execute always have the upper hand.
Stephen Covey
Image
One of the best ways to educate our hearts is to look at our interaction with other people, because our relationships with others are fundamentally a reflection of our relationship with ourselves.
Stephen Covey
Image
The commitments we make to ourselves and to others, and our integrity to those commitments, is the essence and clearest manifestation of our proactivity.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success
