Quotes by Stephen Covey
Strength lies in differences, not in similarities. There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall. Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change. The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it instantly, correct and learn from it. When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it. That's when you can get more creative in solving problems. 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. Stop setting goals. Goals are pure fantasy unless you have a specific plan to achieve them. Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out. To learn something but not to do is really not to learn. To know something but not to do is really not to know.
