More quotes by Stephen Covey
Independent thinking alone is not suited to interdependent reality.
Stephen Covey
How you treat the one reveals how you regard the many, because everyone is ultimately a one.
Stephen Covey
When we listen with the intent to understand others, rather than with the intent to reply, we begin true communication and relationship building. Opportunities to then speak openly and to be understood come much more naturally and easily.
Stephen Covey
Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them
Stephen Covey
The best way to develop courage is to set a goal and achieve it, make a promise and keep it.
Stephen Covey
It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.
Stephen Covey
I see myself living by correct principles and accomplishing worthy purposes. One of my favorite quotes is, The greatest battles of life are fought out every day in the silent chambers of one's own soul. (David O. McKay).
Stephen Covey
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
Balance isn't either/or it's 'and'.
Stephen Covey
It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.
Stephen Covey
An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.
Stephen Covey
Synergy: The combined effect of individuals in collaboration that exceeds the sum of their individual effects.
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
If there's one thing that's certain in business, it's uncertainty.
Stephen Covey
It's like the more you know the more you know you don't know.
Stephen Covey
Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen Covey
When we value correct principles, we have truth - a knowledge of things as they are.
Stephen Covey
As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.
Stephen Covey
To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.
Stephen Covey
Principles are deep fundamental truths... lightly interwoven threads running with exactness, consistency, beauty and strength through the fabric of life.
Stephen Covey
