Personal Leadership Philosophy Workshop
• Carefully read pages 6 – 26. Look for the big ideas, underlining the thing that looks interesting, make notes in the margins, really try to dig into the information.
• Then complete the workshop on page 27. Take this very seriously, give it a lot of thought, and work hard to develop something meaningful. Be specific and clear in your work, put in as much detail and information as possible. There is more room on page 28 for additional notes.
