On the ninth day of Christmas

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

Nine playbook facts,

Eight testimonials,

Seven essential skills,

Six pro tips for projects,

Five blueprints,

Four simple words,

Three bonus guides,

Two coaching calls,

And a scholar bee from a maple tree.

When you join The Essential Scholar Leadership Development Programme, you’ll gain access to our learning platform—and—you’ll receive a special edition Leadership Playbook.

Whilst the learning platform is organised seamlessly with video tutorials and online content. The playbook is different. Very different.

  1. Product dimensions: 240mm x 170mm x 14mm. (Inspired by Brand B)

  2. The playbook has been specifically designed with 176 pages. There are seven chapters, each with precisely 20 pages (except Chapter 1 which has two extra pages).

  3. Paper is sourced from FSC approved forests, and manufactured by UPM Nordland in Lower Saxony, Germany.

  4. Printed by Galloways in Poynton, Cheshire using environmentally friendly CMYK inks (cyan, magenta, blank and yellow).

  5. The cover is printed three times. Lithographic print x 1 pass. A scratch resistant coating x 1 pass. And a Spot UV coating to highlight special design elements.

  6. When delivered, the combined weight of the playbook and custom packaging is 490 grams. This is deliberate. And 10 grams under the 500 gram limit used in setting postage prices.

  7. 54 different books are referenced.

  8. 37 scholar bees appear in the playbook.

  9. And just in case, there’s a comprehensive index on pages 174-175. We call this section, FOMO.

We’re convinced that print encourages you to put down your device, switch off for a moment, and focus on the important things. (Like counting bees!)

THE ESSENTIAL SCHOLAR is our pioneering new Leadership Development Programme. Designed from the ground up—transform into a highly effective leader. Delivered in digital, print and natural wood. Learn more.
