Doctoral Alum Prototypes Executive Training Program for 10-13 Year Olds
|
Alan Nelson '94 (Ed.D.) is the CEO and co-founder of
KidLead. Alan is the author of 15 books, half of which deal with
leadership topics, as well as hundreds of small and feature length articles. Dr.
Nelson is also certified by the American Society of Trainers & Development
(www.astd.org) and the Center for Creative Leadership (www.ccl.org).
His most recent book, KidLead: Growing Great Leaders, was released
this past summer. The book includes interviews with people such as Ken and
Scott Blanchard, Steven and Sean Covey, John Maxwell, John Kotter, Laurie Beth
Jones, Mike Huckabee, George Foreman, and others.
KidLead has prototyped an executive training program, focusing on 10-13 year
olds. Nelson asserts that by 14 our character is pretty much set and he has
learned that by 10, a child with aptitude is cognitively developed sufficiently
to understand how to lead. He believes that to accomplish this we need to
identify kids with leadership aptitude, so they've designed the first of its
kind assessment called the Social Influence Survey. It is free and online
(www.kidlead.com). They launched a non-profit organization called KidLead that
trains trainers to use the curriculum that is divided into three, 12-hour modules,
typically done as a co-curricular enrichment program. KidLead will be in five states by end of year and they've just published a new book that highlights
what has been learned over the last four years in their work.
Alan also published an article about this work, "The 10/13 Window", in Children's Ministry May/June 2009 issue describing his work.
Nelson notes, "No doubt, my education at USD was a strong milestone in this
overall development and I'm very confident that as KidLead grows, we'll be
raising effective and ethical leaders for decades to come."
