Argues leadership is separate from management and lists concrete tools: a one-year offsite leadership program with meetings every six weeks, negotiation tactics (BATNA and anchoring) used to buy a truck that nets a ~$2,000 resale margin, and personality/strengths tools (DISC and StrengthsFinder). Recommends one-at-a-time work instead of multitasking, the three virtues "humble, hungry, smart" as hiring and self-improvement criteria, weekly peer appreciation notes run for a year that boosted morale, and public speaking practice to create influence and career opportunities.
