The worldly fountain does not breed spiritual depth.
Stephen R. Covey
I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a transformer in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.
Stephen R. Covey
Seek first to understand and then to be understood.
Stephen R. Covey
We may be very busy, we may be very efficient, but we will also be truly effective only when we begin with the end in mind.
Stephen R. Covey
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary for effective interdependence.
