Last year, over 100,000 leaders from 14 countries attended Chick-fil-A  Leadercast. In its 14th year, this full day, experiential conference is predicted to reach its largest audience to date.

“It is one of the single most consolidated sources of leadership that I know of,” said John Doe, senior manager at ABC & Co. “But it goes beyond that. I think this conference, although very focused on leadership, transcends the topic and really shows you how to lead in life.

This year our program will focus on the idea of simply leading. Our lives are full of things that we think will grow our businesses and increase our influence. What if there was potential impact in simplifying our lives so that our leadership could thrive? Leading in a complex world requires simplicity to cut through the clutter. This diverse group of internationally-acclaimed authors, leadership experts and practitioners will share insights to help leaders learn how to Simply Lead.
