Stephen Covey is considered one of the most prominent business minds of today. He is the author of the highly popular The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The SPEED of Trust. These quotes from Stephen Covey will motivate and inspire you in all of your business endeavors.
"Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're not doing or should be doing that's the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself. That thought is the problem."
Stephen Covey
"We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions."
Stephen Covey
"The "Inside-Out" approach to personal and self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self - with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves precedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves."
Stephen Covey
"Private victories precede public victories. You can't invert that process any more than you can harvest a crop before you plant it."
Stephen Covey
"People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally 'being lived.' They are acting out scripts written by parents, associates and society."
Stephen Covey
"People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value."
Stephen Covey
