DESCRIPTION:
But what if there was a way to learn not just what to think about but how to think? A program that taught how to manage priorities, focus on goals, and be a positive influence? The Leader in Me is that program. Covey took the 7 Habits that have already changed the lives of millions of people and showed how even young children can use them as they develop. This audiobook is full of examples of how students blossom under the program - a classroom that decided to form a support group for one of their classmates who had behavioral problems, the fourth grader who found a way to overcome his fear of public speaking and wound up taking his class to see him compete in a national storytelling competition, or the seven-year-old who told her father that they needed to go outside and play because they both needed to "sharpen the saw". Perfect for individuals and businesspeople alike, The Leader in Me shows how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life. These 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 being adapted by schools around the country in leadership programs, most famously at the A.B. Not only does it work,
"Buy my program" in a book. Ktown Great stories in what amounts to be an infomercial. It's doesn't really lay out concrete steps to follow through with very well.. Amy A Sharp said Four Stars. Wonderfulness throughout book and great read. Simply confused on delivery of the process. Never really explained how to implement.. Brecka Botts said Perspective changing - Outstanding!. The Leader in Me has not only challenged me as a professional teacher, but challenged me to examine how I can apply the seven habits to my personal life. The book is inspiring and gives fantastic examples of how to apply leadership and the seven habits to the school, classrooms, and individual students. The Leader in Me has encouraged me to strengthen and tweak my own teaching practices while not adding to my workload. I really can't say enough g
