Birth Of A Title
I'm coming into the home stretch (okay, it's a long home stretch) on the new book, and the pressure's on to finalize the title. The working version has been Greater Than Yourself, but we're also playing with several variations on the theme, as well as opening it up to a start-from-scratch-anything-goes approach.
I'd love to get your help on this. Please take a couple of minutes and fill out this survey at Zoomerang.
Just a couple of clicks and you'll be done--and you can rest easy in your bed tonight knowing that you've helped this author and a major New York publisher make a decision that could change the very course of human existence.
Or whatever you have to tell yourself to feel good about it.
In any event, I'd greatly appreciate your help and creative input. (In case you missed it the first time around, please click here to take the survey).

I like the subtitle: The Ultimate Value in Extreme Leadership. I think the word rule retricts the message in a subtle way. I see it and I think, "Another rule," yeah yeah yeah.
That being said, I love your work Steve. M

I think that the concept of Expanding (particularly, expanding one's influence), which you've identified as key, goes well with the closely related word (spelling anyway) Expend, which is the core concept of giving oneself. So, perhaps you can just title the book EXPAND, with a subtitle: Expand your influence by expending yourself

Steve,
I think your foundation and approach is right on target. How about:
"Paying it Forward With Extreme Leadership"?
That's the underlying theme as I understand it.
Wow 'em...
