About book The Leader In Me Kisah Sukses Sekolah Dan Pendidik Menggali Potensi Terbesar Setiap Anak (2008)
Others' critiques of this book are warranted. Like many books in this genre, the guru/writer does a lot of repetition of old news and then tells of a success story where a set of steps 'fixed' a school. If you are willing to get past this, the book does have a great message and I took ideas away that seem pretty simplistic, but that are often overlooked in schools managing a lot of stakeholders, outside mandates, and trying to be all things to all people. The most important lesson being, add-on programs for character education are not going to change the choices kids make. A school needs to have an integrated approach to developing the whole child, academically and emotionally in order to prepare them to develop and actualize their potential. I would love to visit some of the schools mentioned in the book. I love this book and the process it describes. Mr. Cox and the staff at Holly Elementary will be introducing "The Leader in Me" to the students for the 2012-2013 school year. An opportunity for the children at Holly Elementary to grow from the inside out. I have now order "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" for myself and "The 7 Habits of Happy Kids" for Kelsey. We are changing our futures, not easy - WORTH IT! :-)
