A growing number of extraordinary everyday schools, parents, and
business leaders around the world are partnering together to produce
inspiring personal leadership qualities and 21st Century skills in
children. In 1999, the A.B. Combs elementary school in Raleigh, N.C. launched a new leadership program that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
to a pilot group of children. The next year they instituted the program
school wide; by the end of that second year, the average end of grade
score for the school had gone from an 84 to a 94. The school reported
significant increases in self-confidence and self-worth in the children,
a dramatic drop in discipline problems, and impressive increases in
teacher and administrator job satisfaction. More importantly, parents
began reporting very positive changes in their children's demeanors,
attitudes, and abilities. Students began taking an active interest in
the world around them, and seeking out ways to become involved in
decision making, problem solving, and conflict resolution. As
news of the school's success spread, more educators and schools around
the world began adopting the mantra to "develop leaders one child at a
time." Business and civic leaders started approaching and partnering
with schools in their communities to provide resources for teacher
training and student materials. Each school and family approaches the
principles differently, yet they have all enjoyed the same incredible
success. About the Author
