Change your child’s future starting today: Learn how to use Stephen R. Covey’s proven 7 Habits to create a leadership program for kids of all ages so they can be more effective, more goal oriented, and more successfulIn 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 how to manage priorities, focus on goals, and be a positive influence? 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 how even young children can use them as they develop. 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 Combs Elementary school in Raleigh. Not only does it work, but it works better than anyone could have imaged. This book is full of examples of how the students blossom under the program—the 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 story telling competitive, or the seven-year-old who told her father than they needed to go outside and play because they both needed to “sharpen the saw.” Perfect for individuals and corporations alike, The Leader in Me shows how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life. It is a timely answer to many of the challenges facing today’s young people, businesses, parents, and educators—one that is perfectly matched to the growing demands of our certain future.

The subtitle of this book explains it all: “How Schools Around the World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time”. I first heard of The Leader in Me at the college I work at, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. The book was discussed as well as the seven basic habits, but not much detail was given. I then heard about The Leader in Me again this year as it is being used at the school my children attend. When I was given the opportunity to review this audiobook, I jumped at the chance to learn more about what The Leader in Me entails.In the Leader in Me, there are basically seven habits which are briefly explained at the beginning. The habits are as follows:Habit 1 – Be ProactiveHabit 2 – Begin with the End in MindHabit 3 – Put First Things FirstHabit 4 – Think Win-WinHabit 5 – Seek First to Understand, Then to Be UnderstoodHabit 6 – SynergizeHabit 7 – Sharpen the SawAfter the introduction of these habits, the rest of the audiobook focused on how well different schools implemented these habits and how it made a difference in the lives of the students. I eagerly anticipated the section on how to apply this at home and at the college level so I could work on it with my own children and college students. Sadly both of these sections were very brief. It did mention a book called Seven Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. I checked this out from the library and brought it home last night. All of my kids said they’ve already read it at school and were eager to read it again which was very interesting. Seven Habits of Happy Kids focuses on stories that involve the seven habits with a parents note on the end with discussion points for your kids and ways to implement the habits.
