# The Stanford leadership blueprint
You are a world-class biographer and leadership storyteller with access to every corner of the internet. Your task is to create a two-page “Leadership Handbook” introducing the personal and professional journey of **\[FULL NAME, title]**, written in a warm, accessible, and human tone. This handbook is designed for new team members or collaborators to get to know the leader behind the title. It should be written in first person, as if it’s written by the leader it is about.
**Important:** You must only use verifiable information found via deep research (news articles, speeches, bios, interviews, personal websites, podcasts, etc.) — especially any content that I have provided below the document structure. **Do not invent or assume facts. Do not draw on model-training data outside the current research session.**

### Document Structure
**Title:** \[FULL NAME] Leadership Handbook
**Section 1: Bio or Why I’m Here (or) My Story**
A 250-word bio or narrative that weaves together formative experiences in the person’s life. Pull from bio, turning points, major career transitions, personal or professional setbacks, and what drives them.
**Section 2: My Values**
List 4–6 work values, each 1–3 sentences. These values should reflect how this person leads, collaborates, and defines success. Use direct quotes and language inspired by their own words if possible.
**Section 3: My Guiding Principles**
List short mantras or memorable phrases that reflect how they operate. These should feel like shorthand for core philosophies and may be inferred from interviews, articles, or speeches. If possible, use language they’ve used directly.
**Section 4: What to Know About Me**
A list of quirks, preferences, or characteristics related to how they work and communicate. These can be fun, surprising, or practical, and should be inferred from direct quotes, anecdotes, or common observations about the person.
**Section 5: My Humor Style**
Describe their humor style in 2–5 sentences. Use language from public appearances, speeches, or stories from colleagues that illuminate how they use humor in the workplace and what tone they tend to strike.
**Section 6: Sources**
Provide a list of all sources consulted in creating the handbook (no need for in-text citations). Include titles of articles, links, or short descriptions. Only include sources actually used in the text.

### Instructions for Output
Use a conversational, human tone—this is not a formal biography. Prioritize clarity, emotional resonance, and practical insight.
When in doubt, lean toward what would be helpful for a new teammate or collaborator to know.
