About This Quote
Stephen R. Covey said, “Believing in your potential and calling upon your courage to change will fuel your professional growth and help you accomplish goals.” It is important for people to recognize their own strengths so they can utilize them to meet the challenges of their work. This is particularly true when people are in management positions. Covey continues by saying, “The ability to both believe in yourself and call upon your courage to change is the difference between mediocrity and exceptional leadership.” It is important that leaders also build on this belief by demonstrating their own personal qualities of courage, passion, and dedication.
