The Leader In Me

In Stephen Covey's latest audio, the seven habits of highly effective people sound as strong and relevant as ever. Along with an insightful review of each habit, the personal growth icon tells how an elementary school principal and her staff taught these transformative principles to school children and their parents. The goal was to shift them from a fact-based, testing-focused curriculum to one that would foster creativity and character traits such as honesty, integrity, teamwork, initiative, and collaboration. Though Covey's voice sounds less energetic than it once did, the depth of his wisdom and commitment to developing people can be heard in every word and phrase. A worthy reminder of precious truths and an inspiring story of how innovative teachers can make a difference. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
