The Leader in Me: How Schools and Parents Around the World are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time by Stephen R. Covey

The Leader in Me: How Schools and Parents Around the World are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time is a bestselling book by Stephen R. Covey. It presents a leadership programme for children built around Covey’s proven 7 Habits.

Synopsis

In a world crowded with messages about who to be and how to live, this book argues for teaching children not simply what to think, but how to think. Covey sets out how the 7 Habits can be used by young children as they develop, with an emphasis on managing priorities, focusing on goals, and becoming a positive influence.

The habits are described as being adapted by schools across the United States in leadership programmes, including A. B. Combs Elementary School in Raleigh. Alongside the framework, the book includes examples of students responding to the approach, from classroom support for a classmate with behavioural problems to children building confidence and applying the idea of “sharpening the saw” in everyday life. It is positioned for parents, educators, businesses and individuals looking to incorporate these skills into daily routines.
