Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
Stephen CoveyWhen we look through the lens of each others' weaknesses, we make others' strengths irrelevant and their weaknesses more evident.
Stephen CoveyThe only person over whom you have direct and immediate control is yourself. The most important assets to develop, preserve and enhance, therefore, are your own capabilities. And no one can do it for you. You must cultivate the habit of leadership effectiveness for yourself - and doing so will be the single best investment you will ever make.
Stephen CoveyConsequences are governed by principles, and behavior is governed by values; therefore, value principles!
