The Leader In Me

How Schools Around the World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time

By: Stephen R. Covey

Narrated by: Fred Sanders

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 program 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 program. 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. These habits are being adapted by schools around the country in leadership programs, most famously at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in Raleigh. Not only do the programs work, but they work better than anyone could have imagined. This book is full of examples of how the students blossom under the program—from the classroom that decided to form a support group for one of their classmates who had behavioral problems to the fourth grader 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.

Life Changing

I loved this book.

We are beginning LiM at my school and Audio books are more effective for me. This book was revolutionary for me.

Enlightening for Educators

Builds on best teaching practices and offers new ideas in reinforcing behaviors through leadership roles. The examples really hit home with fresh approaches and insight. Loved it!

Awesome book (but chapters mislabeled)

What a great book! I am excited to be in the process with my colleagues of bringing the leader in me into our school. I highly recommend this book!

On a side note, audible has mislabeled the chapters. The introduction was labeled chapter one, the first chapter is labeled chapter two, and so on. The existence of an introduction is not a new concept and I cannot believe that audible doesn’t have a better system for labeling chapters.

Great audiobook and a great program for schools

This is a great audiobook for the teachers and administrators who want to learn more about the leader in me progress but don't have the time to read the book. Also a great way to keep up on the information by listening to it as you drive

What other book might you compare The Leader in Me to and why?

The seven habits of highly effective people

Makes you think.

I find this book gives everyone, not just educators, things to think about. Society and the needs of children in society are changing. This book gives many ideas to help those changes to happen.
