Editorial Review: Product Description: A growing number of extraordinary everyday schools, parents, and business leaders around the world are partnering together to produce inspiring personal leadership qualities and 21st Century skills in children. In 1999, the A.B. Combs elementary school in Raleigh, N.C. launched a new leadership program that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to a pilot group of children. The next year they instituted the program school wide; by the end of that second year, the average end of grade score for the school had gone from an 84 to a 94. The school reported significant increases in self-confidence and self-worth in the children, a dramatic drop in discipline problems, and impressive increases in teacher and administrator job satisfaction. More importantly, parents began reporting very positive changes in their children's demeanors, attitudes, and abilities. Students began taking an active interest in the world around them, and seeking out ways to become involved in decision making, problem solving, and conflict resolution. As news of the school's success spread, more educators and schools around the world began adopting the mantra to 'develop leaders one child at a time.' Business and civic leaders started approaching and partnering with schools in their communities to provide resources for teacher training and student materials. Each school and family approaches the principles differently, yet they have all enjoyed the same incredible success. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the school for leadersThe book is a repetition of a couple of ideas. The beginning is promising but the content is quite disappointing. I don't think it is helpful. Rating: - Elementary, My Dear WatsonWith THE LEADER IN ME, audience is everything. Obviously it's pitched toward schools in search of an ethics program, but parents might find it of interest as well. Still, to my mind, the book's true target audience is the elementary school crowd. As over half of the book is devoted to elementary school case studies in general and the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina specifically, principals, teachers, and parents of elementary students will glean the most from this book. Yes, there ...

This book is eye opening to what a real child's education should be all about. I am so excited and looking forward to incorporating these principles in my daughters's daily routine. Rating: - Better Students Leads to a Better CountryThis book begins with 8 pages of testimonies from Teachers, Community leaders, School Principals, and other Administrators all praising Steven Covey and his effective methods of success. The man is also the grandfather of 50 children and has trained heads of states and CEO's all over the world. What more reasons do you need to read the book? Let me give you some. The book instructs you put your children in mind stimulating environments. Covey praises this elementary school in North Carolina ... Read More Rating: - The Best Book of Covey in Years Since First Things FirstThis is a great book about institutionalizing 7 Habits in Kindergartens and Primary schools. It is far better written than Living the 7 Habits, the 8Th Habit, and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families, since this is a real case book on how the 7 Habits paradigm was applied in teaching leadership to kids. The book is well written because it is written in plain English and less pretentious than Covey's the 8Th habit (which is poorly written and filled with theoretical jargons). Covey shows ...
