The Leader in Me at NCES

What are the 7 Habits of The Leader in Me program?

  • Habit 1 with a cartoon character holding a sign that says be proactive

     

    I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attidtues, and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

  • Habit 2 with a cartoon character with a net, viewing a Begin with the End in Mind box through a magnifying glass

    I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my school’s mission and vision. I look for ways to be a good citizen.

  • Habit 3 with a cartoon character holding a chalkboard sign that says put first things first

    I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

  • Habit 4 with a cartoon character drawing a picture and a sign that says think win-win

    I balance courage for getting what I want with the consideration for what others want. I make deposits in others’ Emotional Bank Accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives.

  • Habit 5 with a cartoon character holding a sign that says seek first to understand, then to be understood

     

    I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when speaking with them.

  • Habit 6, Synergize, and cartoon characters playing soccer together with a net

    I value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people’s ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble.

  • Habit 7 with a cartoon character holding a book that says Sharpen the Saw

    I take care of my body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spend time with family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. I find meanigful ways to help others.
