The Leader in Me: How Schools Around the World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time

by Stephen R. Covey (Author)

Best Young Adult

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 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 people 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 adopted 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 imagined.

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”.
