True North: Principles for Leading with Trust and Purpose

by James Dixon

Find Your Compass. Lead with Clarity. Build with Strength. Grow with Purpose.

Leadership isn’t about titles, charisma, or luck — it’s about people and systems working in harmony. True Principles for Leading with Trust and Purpose helps you master both sides of that the heart of leadership and the craft of management.

Part I, The Mentor’s Guide, reveals the timeless principles that shape great leaders — trust, influence, character, and vision. You’ll learn how to lead people, build teams grounded in integrity, and navigate uncertainty with courage and purpose. Through the True North Compass — Communication, Commitment, Confidence, and Connection — you’ll discover how to inspire others without losing your own direction.

Part II, The Manager’s Toolkit, turns principle into practice through the TERM-C2 Framework — Training, Equipment, Resources, Manpower, Communication, and Connection. These six pillars provide the tools to manage things effectively so your people can thrive. From developing talent and balancing manpower to managing time, resources, and emotional intelligence, TERM-C2 gives you a practical, people-first model for building systems that sustain excellence.

Whether you’re guiding a small team or leading an entire organization, this book equips you with both the compass and the tools to succeed. You’ll find clarity to lead, structure to manage, and purpose to endure.

The world doesn’t need more people chasing titles. It needs leaders who know how to lead people and manage things — who find their True North and, in doing so, help others find theirs.
