• to provide a new perspective on the subject of leadership
• to allow the reader to measure his or her ability against acclaimed leaders
• to provide practical guidance rather than theory
• to help people plan their development as leaders.

From his work, he has developed an innovative approach to leadership. Sections cover the importance of a leader; breeding successful business; being a leader or having leadership ability; consistent set of values; love of people; nurturing champions; overview with overalls; and how to measure and improve yourself.
