Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey, guru to business, has a lot to say to us regular humans, too. He teaches us to break patterns of self-defeating behavior and to replace old patterns with a principle-centered approach to problem-solving. He also teaches us to get our lives in balance, putting wellness, family and relationships, and personal growth just as high on our list of priorities as urgent business concerns.

Random Quote from Stephen Covey
