LEADER IN ME
What is Leader In Me? Bestselling author Steven R. Covey believed that there are 7 key habits that all highly effective people follow. He also believed that all people, regardless of age, could be leaders of their own lives.
In our classroom, we will be learning, practicing and following Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective Kids. As a Leader In Me school, Rooster Springs is working to achieve Lighthouse Status, meaning our school will be a shining example to other schools wishing to embody the 7 Habits.
Please take a moment to look over the 7 Habits listed below. I would love for us work as a team to help students use the 7 Habits both at school and at home. If you would like more information about the work of Steven R. Covey, you can find some of his work listed below.
Habit 1: Be Proactive
“Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able."
Habit 2: Begin with the End In Mind
“Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen.”
Habit 3: Put First Things First
“To live a more balanced existence, you have to recognize that not doing everything that comes along is okay."
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
“Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions."
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then To Be Understood
“Most people listen with the intent to reply, not to understand.” Habit 5 teaches that listening is just as important as speaking.
Habit 6: Synergize
“Synergy means "two heads are better than one." Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems."
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
“Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual.”
