The Leader in Me

Discover how The Leader in Me helps every child develop leadership and life skills, based on the belief that all children are capable leaders.

Last updated 18 August 2026

The Leader in Me is Franklin Covey’s whole school transformation process. It teaches 21st century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.

Instead of seeing children through the lens of a normal distribution curve—some kids are naturally smart and others are not—The Leader in Me paradigm sees that every child is capable, every child is a leader.

Stephen Covey’s ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ is a key component of the overall The Leader in Me process.
