One Piece of Paper

Summary

Based on Mike Figliuolos popular "Leadership Maxims" training course, One Piece of Paper teaches leaders how to articulate their philosophy on a single piece of paper. By asking themselves a series of simple yet thought-provoking questions across four aspects of leadership, readers create a concise, powerful and deeply meaningful set of personal leadership maxims. The four aspects of leadership comprising the core of the approach are: Leading Yourself: What do you stand for and where are you going? Leading the Thinking: Whats the vision and how do you innovate to drive change? What are the standards to guide how you get there? Leading Your People: How will you relate to them and challenge them to be great? Leading a Balanced Life: How will you harmonize all you do so you wake up invigorated every day excited to go tackle the challenges ahead of you? By evaluating themselves across these four aspects of leadership, leaders will build a holistic view of their personal leadership style and learn how to capture it on a single piece of paper. The result is a living document that serves as a behavioral touchstone for  leaders and their teams. From this one piece of paper, leaders can clarify for themselves and communicate to others their values, passions, goals and standards. It's a unique and axiomatic approach that has consistently helped Figliuolos corporate clients lead more decisively and effectively. Fortune 500 companies spend over $12 billion annually on leadership development for their managers. Books that offer new and effective solutions to the challenges corporate leaders face are always in high demand. One Piece of Paper is exactly the kind of book managers and leaders are clamoring for simple, applicable, and without pretense. Its real leadership for the real world.
