The idea for the Chick-fil-A Leadercast was conceived 11 years ago by Dr. John C. Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author and speaker. He wanted to combine his influential voice in the community with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level. What was a one-day regional seminar has since grown to become an annual global broadcast.

Is a church an unusual location for leadership training? "We offer this program as a service to the business community," says Kevin Cunningham, assistant pastor, Trinity Baptist Church. "If we meet their business needs now, when they get in touch with their spiritual needs, they know where to find us."

This year's program will focus on how individuals and teams can use their voices to create positive change at work, at home, and in the community. The speakers will speak on subjects such as leading based on respect and relationship rather than rights and position, the difference between dynamic leadership and mediocre management, creating a culture of servanthood and innovation, how to provide exceptional customer service and the keys to unlocking creativity in your workplace.

"Leadership is about who you are within," said Bill George, Harvard Business School professor and author of True North. "I think people don't get that. I think it's important to come and listen to leaders to reflect on the kind of leader you want to become."
