Summary

Year after year, a group of best-selling authors, thought leaders and management experts-among them James Collins, Warren Bennis and Davie Ulrich-meet to share their defining moments on leadership with one another. As this annual meeting of the minds became a tradition, one theme quickly emerged: great leaders seize the opportunity to learn, over and over again.
