Stephen Covey quotes
The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
Stephen Covey
Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
Covey quotes
Values are social norms — they're personal, emotional, subjective, and arguable. All of us have values. Even criminals have values. The question you must ask yourself is, Are your values based upon principles? In the last analysis, principles are natural laws — they're impersonal, factual, objective and self-evident. Consequences are governed by principles and behavior is governed by values; therefore, value principles!
Covey Stephen
Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven't paid the price to decide what is really important to them.
Covey Stephen quotes
The power to distinguish between person and performance and to communicate intrinsic worth flows naturally out of our own sense of intrinsic worth.
Stephen Covey
...when you get a good night's sleep and wake up ready to produce throughout the day.
Stephen Covey quotes
Remember, to learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to do is really not to know.
Stephen Covey
Give no answer to contentious arguments or irresponsible accusations. Let such things "fly out open windows" until they spend themselves.
Covey Stephen
Because of the space between stimulus and response, people have the power of choice; therefore, leaders are neither born nor made — meaning environmentally ?trained and nurtured. They are self-made through chosen responses, and if they choose based on principles and develop increasingly greater discipline, their freedom to choose increases.
