“Let natural consequences teach responsible behavior.”

Zdroj: Principle-Centered Leadership (1992), Ch. 11
Kontext: Let natural consequences teach responsible behavior. One of the kindest things we can do is to let the natural or logical consequences of people's actions teach them responsible behavior. They may not like it or us, but popularity is a fickle standard by which to measure character development. Insisting on justice demands more true love, not less. We care enough for their growth and security to suffer their displeasure.

“Consequences are governed by principles and behavior is governed by values; therefore, value principles!”

Stephen R. Covey kniha The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness

The 8th Habit : From Effectiveness to Greatness‎ (2004)
Kontext: Values are social norms — they're personal, emotional, subjective, and arguable. All of us have values. Even criminals have values. The question you must ask yourself is, Are your values based upon principles? In the last analysis, principles are natural laws — they're impersonal, factual, objective and self-evident. Consequences are governed by principles and behavior is governed by values; therefore, value principles!

principles such as fairness, kindness, respect, honesty, integrity, service, contribution.

Like the law of gravity, they operate constantly.

“We present a dramatically different approach to time management. This is a principle-centered approach.”

Stephen R. Covey kniha First Things First

Zdroj: First Things First (1994), p. 12 <!-- Originally added as : Instead of taking two watches, take compass. It is not important how fast you are moving, but where you are moving. -->
Kontext: We present a dramatically different approach to time management. This is a principle-centered approach. It transcends the traditional prescriptions of faster, harder, smarter, and more. Rather than offering you another clock, this approach provides you with a compass — because more important than how fast you're going, is where you're headed.
