Developing the Childrens' Version
 It
was clear that the language used to describe the 5 Best
Practices™ of Legacy Leadership® for adults would
not be appropriate for children. The words have, therefore,
been adapted for suitable use with children of limited vocabulary
and understanding. Ideally, the whole program, when completed,
will have information about stepping up the language for
each age group, so that eventually the adult version will
be taught – most likely around Junior High age. What
is included here, however, is intended for third grade through
sixth grade. We believe that third grade children (ages
9-10 usually) are ready for the concepts presented in Legacy
Leadership™. They are still of the age where innocence
has not yet been replaced by the “I already know everything”
attitude. They are eager to learn, very bright, and catch
on quickly to concepts. They are also learning and using
new skills everyday, including rationalization, creative
thinking and problem solving.

While the concepts remain the same, the language used to
define the terms is different:
BEST
PRACTICE |
ADULT VERSION |
CHILDRENS' VERSION |
| 1 |
Holder of Vision and Values
|
Holder of Direction and Truth |
| 2 |
Creator of Collaboration and Innovation |
Creator of Partners and Possibility |
| 3 |
Influencer of Inspiration and Leadership
|
Builder of People and Spirit |
| 4 |
Advocator of Difference and Community
|
Defender of Differences and Teams |
| 5 |
Calibrator of Responsibility and Accountability
|
Tracker of Progress and Purpose |
The term “The 5 Best Practices™” has
also been changed to “The 5 Best Actions” for
children.
The Children’s Version of Legacy Leadership™
will cover all the aspects of the adult version, but will
be written in language children understand. The Legacy Leadership™
mascot, Little Leader, was already developed to add a little
humor to the adult version of the model. He was also adapted,
using his right hand up in a “give me 5” salute,
and thus the title for the children’s version: JUST
GIVE ME 5.
