A robust, authentic model for creating and clearly articulating a personal leadership philosophy.

Through a series of simple questions, readers will create a living document that communicates their values, passions, goals and standards to others, maximizing their leadership potential.

The Book outlines a clear approach for identifying a concise and meaningful set of personal leadership maxims by which leaders can live their lives.

It explains and applies four basic aspects of leadership: leading yourself, leading the thinking, leading your people, and leading a balanced life. The book generates a foundational document that serves as a touchstone for leaders and their teams.

Simple, applicable, and without pretense, One Piece of Paper provides a model for real leadership in the real world.
