Stephen Covey Quotes Collection #2 | Quotsagram

 It's better to be trusted than to be liked. 
 Principles are guidelines for human conduct that are proven to have enduring, permanent value. 
 Between stimulus and response, there is a space where we choose our response. 
 Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution. 
 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. 
 If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting. 
 The only way we can handle change around us is to know what is changeless about ourselves 
Synergy is what happens when one plus one equals ten or a hundred or even a thousand! It’s the profound result when two or more respectful human beings determine to go beyond their preconceived ideas to meet a great challenge. 
 While we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can choose our responses.
 The need to leave a legacy is our spiritual need to have a sense of meaning, purpose, personal congruence, and contribution.
 Admission of ignorance is often the first step in our education.

Stephen Covey Quotes Collection | Quotsagram

 The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
 To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.
 Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
 Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience.
 Treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.
 Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. They're either speaking or preparing to speak.
 Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
 It doesn't really matter how fast you're going if you're heading in the wrong direction.
 Make time for planning; wars are won in the general's tent.
 Prepare your mind and heart before you prepare your speech. What we say, may be less important than how we say it.
 Sacrifice really means giving up something good for something better.
 Be a light, not a judge; be a model, not a critic.
 The great apparent dichotomy is that the more we give, the more we get.
 Live your life by a compass, not a clock.
 The way we see the problem, is the problem.
 Unless you’re continually improving your skills, you’re quickly becoming irrelevant.
 Effective people are not problem-minded; they are opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.

Stephen Covey Quotes Collection #3 | Quotsagram

 There are three constants in life; change, choice and principles.
 If you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude; but if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm.
 Listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply.
 If two people have the same opinion, one is unnecessary.
 Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
 The deepest desire of the human spirit is to be acknowledged.
 I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
 Stop setting goals. Goals are pure fantasy unless you have a specific plan to achieve them.
 The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
 Listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply.
 You can’t change the fruit without changing the root.
 Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition, such as lifting weights, we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.
 Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, treating people with respect.
 Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
 Live out of your imagination, not your history.
 The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
