The idea for the Chick-fil-A Leadercast was conceived eleven years ago by Dr. John C. Maxwell, "New York Times" best-selling author and speaker. He wanted to combine his influential voice in the community with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level. What started out as a half day, classroom-format event with John Maxwell teaching has since become a full-day, experiential conference featuring authors, leadership experts and practitioners.
"The event was a highlight in my development," said Jennifer Boubel, director of field services for Continental Airlines. "Each speaker brought insights that were inspiring. It is an incredible way to improve upon our leadership so that in turn we can make a difference in the lives of those we influence."
This year's program will focus on how YOU can use your passion to create positive change in your workplace, your community and in your family so we can make ourselves, our teams and our cities better. When we join together, even the small changes we effect can become a powerful collective.
"Leadership is about who you are within," said Bill George, Harvard Business School professor and author of "True North." "I think it's important to listen to leaders to reflect on the kind of leader you want to become."
