  1. The Leader in Me“Rippling Across the Globe Chapter 6

  2. Chapter 6 • This chapter tells how many different schools throughout the nation and world incorporated the 7 Habits, and how each one is unique and different.  These schools span all cultures, and socioeconomic levels

  3. Each school is adding their own unique signatures to the leadership role.  The chapter stressed how the teachers must have ownership.  They must live and love the 7 Habits and other leadership concepts.  They also must attach their own personality or voice to what they are teaching.  They must make it their own.  When we do this, it shows up in our language and in the way we handle discipline matters.  This is when the students begin feeling it and believing it. 

  4.    At each of the schools mentioned, teachers have added their individual signatures.  They have their own models and their own philosophies based on their needs and strengths.  Every classroom has a different feel.  No teacher ever does things the same way.  When students feel the leadership theme is directed in their best interests, and when they feel their teacher has their potential in mind, students take a giant step forward towards being successful.
