The Leader in Me

Stephen R. Covey Β· 2009
73/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Covey makes a compelling case that the Seven Habits can be meaningfully taught to children at the school-culture level, and the real-school case studies give the book credibility beyond simple advocacy. Educators and parents interested in character-based schooling will find it an encouraging read with practical structural ideas. The commercial licensing angle is worth scrutinizing for public-school contexts, and the book reads as promotion more than critical analysis β€” but the underlying educational philosophy is sound and the outcomes documented are real.
