Habitudes are images that form leadership habits and attitudes. They are a sticky way to teach leadership and life principles to students. According to sociologist Dr. Leonard Sweet, “Images are the language of the 21st century, not words.” Author Tom Peters says, “The best leaders, almost without exception, are master users of stories and images.”
We lead an EPIC generation. They are Experiential, Participatory, Image-rich and Connected. The Habitudes series is a simple, profound way to connect with students in this image-rich generation, and teach them character and leadership. The four-book series covers self-leadership, connecting with others in community, leading others and changing organizational culture.

There are thousands of schools attempting to cover hundreds of issues each year with their freshmen students. So why teach character and leadership? Based on research done by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA, we believe a case can be built for its importance. Here are some of the conclusions from their research:
1. Every student has leadership potential.
2. Leadership can no longer be the possession of the exclusive few.
3. Character and ethics are the foundation of any successful venture.
