Business Book Club: One Piece of Paper

In partnership with the Lakewood Public Library, the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce is hosting a community read for the book, One Piece of Paper, by Mike Figliuolo. 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 are your rules of personal conduct and what does the “future you” stand for?

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

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

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

This event is free and open to the public.
