LEADERS COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES & MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
IN AN ERA WHEN EVERYONE IS AN INFLUENCER, WHAT TRULY DEFINES A LEADER?
While influence informs behaviors and decisions, leadership is the big picture that puts it all together: from establishing a shared vision to empowering people to creating change.
Many successful leaders attribute their leadership skills to positive childhood experiences. From watching a coach rally their team before a big game to a classmate helping their peers study for a math test, kids learn early on how to recognize the qualities that make a great leader:
- Having the ability to energize a team
- Making everyone feel included
- Creating shared goals that everyone can contribute to
- Being open to new ideas and willing to speak up for a group
- Motivating a team through rough times and celebrating good times
Teaching leadership to kids gives them a better understanding of why leaders are important so they can start building the skills to become one themselves.
THIS BOOK WILL EXAMINE ALL THESE PRINCIPLES AND MORE IN AN ENGAGING AND ENTERTAINING STORY YOUR CHILD WILL LOVE.

LEADERS COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES & MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
WHEN WE THINK OF A “LEADER” MOST OF US IMAGINE A HISTORY-MAKER, SOMEONE WITH PRESTIGE WHO CREATED WIDESPREAD CHANGE. BUT THERE ARE MANY LEADERSHIP STYLES.
The best leaders are self-aware, work well with others and have a vision of progress. In this book, your child will learn:
SELF-LEADERSHIP
Self-leadership involves self-awareness. Youth get to know themselves, acknowledge their unique experiences and backgrounds as well as become aware of their emotions and personal values. The ultimate goal of self-leadership is emotional wellness, which involves recognizing, understanding and responding to your own emotional needs to gain an overall sense of positive well-being.
LEADERSHIP WITH OTHERS
Leadership with others includes understanding the perspectives of others and communicating effectively to encourage collaboration within and between teams.
LEADERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY
Community can mean many things, such as home, school, the Club or other afterschool programs. This level of leadership includes taking positive actions toward a common goal.

EMBRACING LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES AT A YOUNG AGE CREATES LIFE-LONG BENEFITS IN CHILDREN:
THEIR SELF-CONFIDENCE WILL GROW
Teaching kids leadership skills can boost their self-esteem and motivation to work hard at a goal or try new things. They’ll also strengthen their sense of control and self-identity.
THEY’LL LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN NEEDS AND SPEAK UP
Learning how to plan, problem solve and implement solutions allows youth to see what factors drive success. When they’re taught to believe their perspective matters, they’ll be more motivated to advocate for their personal needs as well as address school, club and community issues.
THEY’LL BUILD ESSENTIAL EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS THAT LEAD TO SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND THE WORKFORCE
Practicing “soft skills” as a leader like communicating, collaborating and problem solving within a group will prepare kids for life after high school on their path to a career.

In setting out to create "The Six Simple Secrets," Professor Gordon wanted to ensure he was providing the most pertinent and tested leadership principles in the industry. While teaching at the country's number one rated collegiate leadership institute, Professor Gordon was privileged to be surrounded by some of the brightest and most successful young leaders, who he had the honor of teaching to help further their personal and professional goals.
Professor Gordon then began to wonder whether a pattern existed - whether all these talented university students shared certain characteristics, traits, or upbringings that helped lead to their success later in life and the positive leadership attributes they regularly exhibit. As any inquisitive professor would do, he set out to answer this question.
Professor Gordon proceeded to conduct dozens of in-person interviews and solicit answers to questionnaires from his top leadership students, asking them to reflect on what made them successful in life and what advice or lessons they wish they embraced or knew at a younger age.

The results of Professor Gordon's study were just as expected - as a handful of common, proven leadership traits quickly emerged and became evident across many if not most of the leadership student cohort. Moreover, the advice students wished they received as a child were not only nearly identical to each other, but aligned exactly with the six simple secrets propounded in this book.
Combining the results of Professor Gordon's study and research with his years of leadership development curriculum and presentation skills, Professor Gordon created these six proven principles of success that were common to all -- and then transformed and molded them into a digestible and easy to follow children's story -- where our main character, just like your little reader, goes on a week-long adventure to learn how to become the best kid he can be, and does so by learning and embracing these six simple secrets -- with some funny and exciting happenings along the way that will be sure to keep your child entertained and engaged.
Not only will this book allow you to explore and discuss these concepts more with your child, but will help you better recognize and encourage them as well - combining to create lessons that will benefit your children for a lifetime.
