This is a descriptive case of one MBA student's views on core leadership principles, his personal charter, his personal mission statement, and his life's dream. The case therefore gives an opportunity to discuss how people need to develop the ability to lead their own lives in order to lead others. The material would work well with the technical note Personal Charters (UVA-OB-0801) and be suitable for any MBA or executive education classroom.

•To explore personal definitions of leadership •To consider how much individuals have to learn to become adults and leaders •Encourage students to learn from each stage and phase of life. •To invite students to anticipate the consequences of their daily/weekly choices about work and life.
