From the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People, Dr. Stephen R. Covey illustrates how his
principles of leadership can be applied to children of all ages.
In today's world, we are inundated with information about who to be,
what to do, and how to live. But what if there was a way to learn not
just what to think about, but how to think? A program that taught young
people how to manage priorities, focus on goals, and be a positive
influence in their schools?
The Leader in Me is that program. In this bestseller, Stephen R. Covey
took the 7 Habits that have already changed the lives of millions of
readers and showed that even young children can use them as they
develop. These habits are being adapted by schools around the country in
leadership programs, most famously at the A.B Combs Elementary school in
Raleigh. Not only do the programs work, but they work better than anyone
could have imagined. This book is full of examples of how the students
blossom under the program--from the classroom that decided to form a
support group for one of their classmates who had behavioral problems to
the fourth grader who overcame his fear of public speaking and took his
class to see him compete in a national story telling competition.
Perfect for individuals and corporations alike, The Leader in Me shows
how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life so kids of
all ages can be more effective, goal-oriented, and successful.
