Trainer’s Guide 
IMPORTANT TRANSITION: This workshop is based on Covey’s Principle-
Centered Leadership. Principle-Centered Leadership was chosen as the 
foundation for the workshop because Governor Purdue embraces it and 
wants his administration to be run accordingly. As you know, there are 
many theories and styles of leadership. We are going to do a quick overview 
of several leadership theories and styles to see how they compare to 
principle-centered leadership.
