Leadership Begins Here

This school year, Holy Angels School were introduced to "The 7 Habits of a Christian Leader:"

Habit 1: Be Proactive. You are in Charge.

I am a responsible persone. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do not blame

others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. Have a Plan.

I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am in important part of

my classroom and contribute to my school's mission and vision. I look for ways to be a good citizen.

Habit 3: Put First Things First. Work first, Then play.

I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I

set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

Habit 4: Thing Win-Win. Everyone Can Win.

I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits in

others' Emotional Bank Accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives.

Habit 5: Seek first to Understand, then to be Understood. Listen before YOU Talk.

I listen to other people's ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others

without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking.

Habit 6: Synergize. Together is Better.

I value other people's strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are

different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people's ideas to solve problems because I know

that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. Balance Feels Best.

I take care of my body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spend time with family and friends. I

learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. I find meaningful ways to help others.
