Here you’ll find each chapter — and each section within that chapter — structured with "layered" headings, summary paragraphs, and subheadings. The text is set in distinct modules, any of which can be read in just a few minutes.

What that means for you, the reader, is an opportunity to read this book in exactly as much depth as your time or interest allows. So you can browse the book and gather just the essential principles. Or you can enrich that information with all the quotes, anecdotes, and commentary that you’ll find in "Growing the Distance."

Leadership and personal growth isn’t a step-by-step formula. It’s not a linear "begin here and end there" process. It’s as individual as we are. "Growing the Distance" uses that philosophy to provide an inspirational guide that each reader can tailor and make their own for years to come.
