Make your own leadership studies program! Here are the resources that Shelli decided to use to make a Leadership Studies program for her son.
She used these books:
- Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations by Harris
- Secrets of Great Communicators: Simple, Powerful Strategies for ReachingThe Heart Of Your Audience by Jeff Myers
- Secrets of Everyday Leaders Learning Kit: Create Positive Change And Inspire Extraordinary Results by Jeff Myers
- Secrets of World Changers: How to Achieve Lasting Influence As a Leader by Jeff Myers
- The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Personal Workbook by Sean Covey
- Plants Grown Up: Projects for Sons on the Road to Manhood by Pam Forster
Shelli is using her son’s Boy Scouts leadership position as a practicum, but any leadership position in an organization would also work well.
Your best strategy for creating a dynamic high school plan is preparation. The HomeScholar Gold Care Club will give you the comprehensive help you need to homeschool high school.

I wholeheartedly second Do Hard Things.
I would love to see how Shelli used Plants Grown Up- seems I can never really figure out a way to incorporate it into my kids’ days, but the content is excellent.

Thanks Lee. I think I will incorporate this into a class for my daughter. She used the Covey books when she was in middle school and she really like them.

I would just add a suggestion and that is to read biographies of godly men and women – there is nothing like the power of example and a story of how God works in a life to show our kids that He can work in theirs too. My son just finished Bruchko as part of his required reading. Many good examples of leadership issues in that book.

We have also been working on leadership and a “socialization” language that colleges will understand. In Ohio 4-H is very big and well recognized and has wonderful opportunities for young people to build leadership skills. They even have leadership projects to work on. My daughter has also read the Do Hard Things book.

Thanks Lee, I was just thinking about this the other day. Currently we have been using Rick Green’s communication series, The Leader’s Edge the Power of Purposeful Communication, which is awesome. However, I feel something covering leadership would be a great touch, thanks again.
