Leadership seems complicated to many. With competing philosophies and methods, as well as a rapidly changing workplace, is it possible to clearly, succinctly, and simply convey your personal approach to leading others?

One Piece of Paper provides an authentic, accessible model for any leader to do just that. Simple, applicable, and without pretense, it's real leadership for the real world.

Based on leadership expert Mike Figliuolo's popular "Leadership Maxims" training course, One Piece of Paper guides you through a simple approach for creating, articulating, and living your personal leadership philosophy?one that can be shared on a single piece of paper. Figliuolo's model distills leadership to four easy-to-understand aspects:

• Leading yourself: What motivates you and what are your rules of personal conduct? What do you want the "future you" to look like and stand for?

• Leading the thinking: Where are you taking your organization and how will you innovate to drive change?

• Leading your people: How can you lead a team as individuals rather than as faceless cogs in a machine?

• Leading a balanced life: How do you define and achieve equilibrium between work and personal obligations?

By answering simple, provocative questions that guide anyone to a set of personal leadership maxims, you build a living document that communicates your personal passions, goals, and standards that define your leadership style.
