The book and its companion workbook, sold as one kit.
The book lays out the ten leadership principles that carried Dr. Rudy Chervil from an HVAC service call to VP of Engineering. The workbook is where you put each one to work. Bought together, they're the Leadership Kit — bought apart, you only get half the tool.
They're built as a pair, not two ways to buy the same content — one gives you the principles, the other gives you a structured way to apply them to your own career.
| The Book | The Workbook | |
|---|---|---|
| Function | Explains the ten leadership principles and the reasoning behind each one. | Turns each principle into structured practice — exercises, reflection prompts, and action plans. |
| Format | Chapters built around the author's own path from the trades into engineering leadership. | Worksheets and prompts, with space to write your own answers directly in the book. |
| How you use it | Read start to finish, then keep as a reference. | Work through it alongside the book, one principle at a time. |
| On its own | You understand the principles, but not a structured way to apply them. | The exercises assume you've read the principles they're built on. |
