Habitudes™ Overview

Habitudes: Images That Form Leadership Habits and Attitudes


We all influence those around us.

Sociologists tell us the most introverted of people will influence 10,000 others in an average lifetime. So how do you influence others? Do you even think about it?  Do you make a positive difference in your world?  How do you intentionally add value to the people in your life?

Habitudes is a collection of 52 images that form leadership habits and attitudes. This groundbreaking tool teaches life and leadership principles through images. They enable you to lead yourself and wisely influence others. We've all heard it before: a picture is worth a thousand words. We have found that most of us are visual learners. In fact, Dr. Leonard Sweet, noted educator and futurist, says that "images, not words, are the language of the 21st century."

There are thirteen images in each of the four books in the Habitudes series. They are based on our belief that leadership is a 360-degree proposition.  The leadership journey begins with self-leadership. Then we lead those above us and around us.  Next, we lead those under our care. Finally, we  learn to leverage our influence to change culture. Habitudes is published by Growing Leaders, a non-profit organization working with emerging leaders around the world  Find out more at www.GrowingLeaders.com

Ideal for use with small group discussions, mentoring communities, and classes, Habitudes is a way to build the "picture perfect" leader inside of you!

Habitudes is more than curriculum.  Specifically designed for Gen Y, they are a fun, creative and engaging way for students to learn and practice leadership.

Habitudes is a "sticky" way to learn what it means to be a healthy, effective leader. They teach leadership with the power of an image, a conversation and an experience. They are created for what Dr. Leonard Sweet calls today's EPIC generation that longs for communication that is:

 

  E – Experiential
  P – Participatory
  I – Image rich
   C - Connected
                       
  The series helps you put your training on ICE:

     IMAGES…which lead to…
                   CONVERSATIONS…which lead to…             
                            EXPERIENCES…which change us.
