Stephen Covey Management Quotations

Make time for planning: Wars are won in the general's tent.

As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.

Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.

Efficient management without effective leadership is, as one individual phrased, it, "like straightening deck chairs on the Titanic".

Management is formal authority given from above. Leadership is moral authority given from below and all around.

Time management is a misnomer, the challenge is to manage ourselves.

Doing more things faster is no substitute for doing the right things.

Management works in the system; leadership works on the system.

We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.

If you don't choose to do it in leadership time up front, you do it in crisis management time down the road.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success
