Best of the Global Leadership Summit
The Summit hath cometh.
I’ll spare you the details, but the Global Leadership Summit at Willow Creek came and went last week and I’m still feeling the effects of it today!
Challenging speakers.
Ideas that I’m still mulling over.
Conviction to act rather than just sit and theorize.
All that from the Summit.
You can read all my live-blogged notes from the Summit here. Otherwise if you’re short on time, here are some of my favorite insights from each speaker:
