Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
There's strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen Covey
Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.
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
The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
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
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
When it comes to developing character strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home's potential for positive influence.
