I\u2019ve taken teams to The Leadership Summit<\/a> for years, and one thing I\u2019ve learned is that what you and your team get out<\/em> of the Summit is proportional to what you put in<\/em> to the Summit.<\/p>\n

Some years, I\u2019ve found myself doing little more than determining how many would be on our Summit team, making sure we were registered, and having someone coordinate transportation. In those years the Summit experience, while worthwhile, didn\u2019t seem to gain optimal traction with our team.<\/p>\n

But in the others years where we intentionally invested time, energy and creativity on the front end, the impact of the Summit experience was entirely different.<\/p>\n
