Words of wisdom.....Stephen R Covey
Stephen Richards Covey words
of wisdom:
Live by principles or natural laws
rather than going along with today’s culture of quick fix. Timeless principles
are fairness, honesty, kindness, respect, service, integrity and contribution.
Body is a natural system. It is governed
by natural law. No amount of positive mental attitude could get around the
literal limits of muscle conditioning.
Values are social norms – they are
personal, emotional, subjective and arguable. Principles are impersonal
factual, objective and self-evident. Consequences are governed by principles
and behavior is governed by values; therefore value principles.
There is a “law of harvest” that governs
character, all human greatness and all human relationships. It stands contrast
to our culture of quick –fix, victimism and blame.
Common sense is not common practice.
You cannot think or live independently
in an interdependent world.
We are a product of neither nature nor
nurture; we are a product of choice, because there is always a space between
stimulus and response.
Hitler’s vision, discipline and passion
was driven by ego. Gandhi’s vision, discipline and passion was driven by
conscience.
Discipline is will power embodied.
Online the disciplined are truly free.
Undisciplined are slaves to mood, appetites and perversion.
Form the habit of doing things that
failures don’t like to do.
Leadership is communicating peoples
worth and potential so clearly that they come to see it in themselves.
Philosophy of influence is called:
ethos: means your ethical nature, your personal credibility, the amount of
trust or confidence others have in your integrity and competency. Pathos is
empathy; Logos basically stands for logic.
Relish the “little” assignment or
“chore” that no one else wants! Seek it out! It’s a license for self
empowerment whether it is the redesign of a form or planning a weekend client
retreat—you can turn it into something grand and glorious and wows.
90% of all leadership failure is
character failures
In an interview for a medical school a
person asked whom e would prefer: an honest surgeon who was incompetent, or a
competent surgeon who was dishonest. He reflected and said: “It all depends on
the issue. If I needed the surgery I ‘d go for the competent person. If is was
a question of whether to have the surgery or not, I would go for he honest
one.”
Character and competence makes a good
leader.

Effective Management
Likert's
characteristics of an effective management are:
Motivating
your employees and associates to work must be done by using modern techniques
and principles. Stop using the old ways of threats and rewards.
Your
employees are individuals with personal needs, values and dreams. It is
important to support them in their self worth and enhance their self esteem.
The organization
will achieve the organizations objectives and goals when you build closely knit,
highly effective teams within your company. Each employer must be committed to
the goals.
Each
team must have supportive relationship between its members. It may not be
actual support, but they must have respect for each other.

Quotes
MichaelGerber says:
The
difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create
their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively
waiting to see where life takes them next. The difference between the two is
the difference between living fully and just existing.
The entrepreneur is only Visionary, the
creator in each of us. We're born with that quality and it defines our lives as
we respond to what we see, hear, feel and experience. It is developed, nurtured
and given space to flourish and is squelched, thwarted without air of
stimulation and dies.
