Leadership Education
The Seven Keys
There are seven principles of successful education; when they are applied, learning occurs. When they are ignored or rejected, the quantity and quality of education decreases. Whatever the student’s individual interests or learning styles, these principles apply. These ideas are perhaps best communicated with a counterpoint idea to help elevate it to the degree of emphasis that makes the most difference. The “original” 7 Keys were taught with a counterpoint of Authoritarian ideas that compete with the ideal. We have found that there is an equal and opposite “Permissive” idea that also competes, and that will be shown in parenthesis.

Phases of Learning
One of the most significant differences between Leadership Education and other classical styles of education has to do with the belief that people, especially children, learn differently at different ages. Thus, there are different phases for learning certain lessons.
