Více o knize

Change your child's future today by learning to implement Stephen R. Covey's proven 7 Habits to create a leadership program for kids of all ages, enabling them to become more effective, goal-oriented, and successful. In an age overwhelmed with information about how to live, this program teaches not just what to think, but how to think. It emphasizes managing priorities, focusing on goals, and being a positive influence. Covey's 7 Habits—be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw—are being successfully adapted by schools nationwide, notably at A.B. Combs Elementary in Raleigh. The results are remarkable, with students thriving under the program. Examples include a classroom forming a support group for a classmate with behavioral issues, a fourth grader overcoming public speaking fears to compete in a national storytelling contest, and a seven-year-old reminding her father to play outside to "sharpen the saw." This approach is beneficial for individuals and organizations, offering practical ways to integrate these skills into daily life. It addresses the challenges faced by today's youth, businesses, parents, and educators, aligning perfectly with the demands of our future.
