Consequently, what is the goal of Covey's concept on the circle of influence?
Circle of Influence and Control is a tool created by Stephen Covey. We use it to help you and your team look at all the things that concern you, to help you realise you have more power than you think over things that feel out of your control.
Proactive people focus their efforts on their Circle of Influence. They work on the things they can do something about: health, children, or problems at work. Reactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Concern--things over which they have little or no control: the national debt, terrorism, or the weather.
