4. What is Leadership?

5. Rethinking Leadership “Leadership is a CHOICE,

“Leadership is a CHOICE,
NOT a position.”

6. Definition of Leadership
“Leadership is communicating
people’s worth and potential
so clearly that they are
inspired to see it in themselves.”
—Stephen R. Covey
There is a leader in me, in you, and in every child who walks through the doors of this school. But we might not recognize it in ourselves = we need someone to help communicate this to us. I want you to think back to when you were in elementary school….

7. Think Back…Memory Blast

8. Think back to when you were in elementary school.
Who Inspired You?
Think back to when you were in elementary school.
Who was a teacher or another leader who inspired or influenced you?
2. In what ways did you see your own worth and potential differently because of this person?
How did he or she communicate that to you?
Count to three….

9. The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.

10. Inside Out
This model shows the concept of “inside out.” Leadership starts with what’s inside you and flows outward to your impact on the individual students in your classroom and then extends to impact the culture of the school. It eventually extends beyond the school to impact families and communities. Just like the ripples in a pond, the impact goes farther than you can even imagine! (p.36 new materials)

11. The Leader in Me… …is not about turning every child into a CEO.
…is about unleashing the leader within every child.

12. The A.B. Combs Story
Muriel Summers, principal of A.B. Combs Elementary School attended a 7 Habits workshop with Dr. Stephen R. Covey and asked:

22. Teaching Leadership with The 7 Habits 3:45
Video
Teaching Leadership with The 7 Habits 3:45
Some people have questioned whether the language and the concepts of the 7 Habits could really be understood by elementary school-aged children. What we have found is that children absolutely have the capacity to learn, apply and even teach the 7 Habits. Lets listen to some children explain the 7 Habits to us on this video. As you watch, notice how comfortable the children are with the language of the habits and how they apply them to real-world scenarios they encounter.
These habits form the language of leadership. Elementary children are concrete learners. They need to experience – to see, touch, feel, taste, and smell in order to learn.
