From the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Dr. Stephen R. Covey illustrates how his principles of leadership can be applied to children of all ages – updated and revised for modern students.

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 programme that taught young people how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence in their schools?

The Leader in Me is that programme. In this bestseller, Stephen R. Covey took the 7 Habits that have already changed the lives of millions of readers and showed that even young children can use them as they develop. Not only do the programmes work, but they work better than anyone could have imagined. This book is full of examples of how the students blossom under the programme – from the classroom that decided to form a support group for one of their classmates who had behavioural problems, to the student who overcame his fear of public speaking and took his class to see him compete in a national storytelling competition.

Perfect for individuals and corporations alike, The Leader in Me shows how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life so kids of all ages can be more effective, goal-oriented and successful.
