“It is what you read when you don’t have to,
that determines what you will be when you
can’t help it.”
Oscar Wilde
@simonejomoore #TFT14
As that character…• What kind of relationship do you need to have with others?
• Do you get to change anyone?
• What kind of story do you tell?
• How will your story develop and
• What kind of ending will eventuate when you turn that last page? !
If you are going to lead relevant, successful teams, then you need to know which parts of your story are
doing well, and which are not.

“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
Oscar Wilde
@simonejomoore #TFT14
Character Charts• How many characters do you have?
• What kind of characters do you have around you?
• Are they minor or major roles?
• Some key areas: • Speech and language/communication • Everyday behaviour/habits • The Past • Relationships with others • Mental attitude/personal beliefs • Likes/favourites
@simonejomoore #TFT14
The Snowflake Method1. Write a one-sentence summary of your team.
2. Expand the sentence to a paragraph describing the story narrative, any major events and the ending.
3. Now consider the main character and write a one page summary for each, considering the following points: • A one-sentence summary of the character’s storyline. • The character’s motivation (what does he/she want abstractly?). • The character’s goal (what does he/she want concretely?). • The character’s conflict (what prevents him/her from reaching this goal?). • The character’s epiphany (what will he/she learn, how will he/she change?). • A one-paragraph summary of the character’s storyline.
@simonejomoore #TFT14
The Snowflake Method4. Go back to the summary you wrote in step 2 and
expand each sentence into a paragraph: • Take several hours and expand each sentence of your summary paragraph into
a full paragraph. All but the last paragraph should end in a disaster. The final paragraph should tell how the book ends.
5. Write a one page description for each major character, which tells the story from their point of view.
6. Expand your one page plot synopsis into a four page plot synopsis.

The Snowflake Method
7. Expand your character descriptions from Step 3 into full ‘character charts’.
8. Using the expanded synopsis, make a list of every scene you will need to write to complete the novel.
9. Using the scene list, write a multi-paragraph narrative description of each scene.
10. Write your first draft.

Summary• Being able to use a Novel approach to Leadership gives you
the ability to:
• hope until there is none
• know it is not ended until you choose to end it
• continue the story
• always write the sequel and where necessary,
• write the prequel to explain the misunderstood or unknown.

reading it at all.” Oscar Wilde
