the leader in me how schools and parents around the world are inspiring greatness one child at a time
we only get one chance to prepare our students for a future that none of us can possibly predict . what are we going to do with that one chance the world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history . most of our children are not prepared and we know it . parents around the world see the change and know that the traditional three rs reading writing and arithmetic are necessary but not enough . their children need to become far more responsible creative and tolerant of differences . they need to increase their ability to think for themselves take initiative get along with others and solve problems . business leaders are not finding people whose skills and character match the demands of todays global economy including strong communication ; teamwork ; analytical technology and organizational skills young people who are self motivated creative and who have a strong work ethic . how will we bridge this ever widening gap the leader in me is the story of a growing number of extraordinary schools parents and business leaders around the world who are preparing a generation of children to truly lead their own lives and meet the great challenges and opportunities of the 21st century . the leader in me shows how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life . it is a timely answer to many of the challenges facing todays young people businesses parents and educators one that is perfectly matched to the global demands of the 21st century .
