Leader in Me

Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? the leader in me is that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the a.b. Combs elementary school in north carolina. To hear the parents of a. B combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught the 7 habits of highly effective people to a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen r. Covey takes the 7 habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop.those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.
