QUOTES BY Stephen Covey

"Most people think of leadership as a position and therefore don't see themselves as leaders."

"Management works in the system; Leadership works on the system."

"Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones."

"You can't live principals you can't understand."

"Private victories precede public victories. You can't invert that process any more than you can harvest a crop before you plant it."

"It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside."

"Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness."
