More quotes by Stephen Covey
The enemy of the best is often the good.
Stephen Covey
You can retire from a job, but don't ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.
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
When the trust is high, you get the trust dividend. Investors invest in brands people trust. Consumers buy more from companies they trust, they spend more with companies they trust, they recommend companies they trust, and they give companies they trust the benefit of the doubt when things go wrong.
Stephen Covey
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
Live the law of love. We encourage obedience to the laws of life when we live the laws of love.
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
Reactive people... are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior.
Stephen Covey
Synergy is better than my way or your way. It's our way.
Stephen Covey
We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.
Stephen Covey
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
Stephen Covey
Treat them all the same by treating them differently.
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
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
Trust is the glue that holds everything together. It creates the environment in which all of the other elements win-win stewardship agreements, self-directing individuals and teams, aligned structures and systems, and accountability can flourish.
Stephen Covey
Be a light, not a judge, be a model not a critic. Little by little, your circle of influence will explode and you will avoid the emotional metastasizing cancers of complaining, criticizing, competing, comparing and cynicism, all which reflect victimization, all of which are the opposite of being proactive.
Stephen Covey
In this knowledge-worker age, it's now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs - so the pressure to do well is really high.
Stephen Covey
Satisfied needs do not motivate. It's only the unsatisfied need that motivates. Next to physical survival, the greatest need of a human being is psychological survival - to be understood, to be affirmed, to be validated, to be appreciated.
Stephen Covey
Effective communication is built on the cement of trust. And trust is based on trustworthiness, not politics.
Stephen Covey
Quality relationships are built on principles, especially the principle of trust.
