Synopsis

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.

Quatrième de couverture :

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 them 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. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to a pilot group of students. In a short time the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 97.
To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. They began reporting incredible changes in their children's demeanour, attitudes and abilities. As news of the programme's success spread, schools around the world began adopting the mantra to 'develop leaders one child at a time'.
The 7 Habits have already changed the lives of millions of people, but this book 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.
