The Leader In Me: How Schools And Parents Around The World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child At A Time (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Where to begin? This book was given to me at a professional development at my school. I believe that today's generation can GREATLY benefit from learning and utilizing the 7 habits. If anything, tell the state to forget about the common core…….and let's teach our students some COMMON SENSE. Unfortunately, this book didn't SHOW or EXPLAIN how to implement The Leader In Me Program in my school or my classroom. I understand the program isn't a one size fits all type program---but after reading this book I still feel clueless as to how I would implement this program in my school. Aside, from incorporating the 7 habits in my classroom when a teachable moment is possible--how do I truly get my students to connect with these habits and follow them. I am confused as to how this book received such a high rating. If anyone is implementing the program, please tell me if there is something I missed in this book. The last 2 chapters of this book are great and earn the book as a whole a fourth star. I am inspired to read the original 7 Habits book. Covey quotes research by Dufour and Marzano, both have been studied at my school. I read out lots of quotes into my phone notes for this review, too many to list here. This one is perhaps the best, from page 196: "Leadership is communicating people's worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves." Words of wisdom in whatever walk of life, personal and professional.
