Preparing for the Leadership Summit

With The Leadership Summit just over a month a way one of the things I have done to enrich my learning experience at the actual event is to do some self pre-learning.  One of the most effective means to do so is for me to do some reading by the speakers ahead of time.  Many of them have authored books often related to the subject matter they will be speaking on.  When this is the case my learning curve has gone way up during the actual session they are speaking at.  Even when the books they have written on are on a different subject matter all together I have still found it helpful because it gives me a window into their past experiences and what may be shaping their thinking.  Now, though not all of the speakers this year have published works.  For the ones that do here are a few suggestions to read before you attend the Leadership Summit.  I hope you will be prodded to do so.

Alex,

I can understand your struggle with "The Faith" I had to work hard to get through it at times as well. It was worth it for me though.

thanks for the tip Chaztown -- I plan to order it soon.

I am still struggling to get through "The Faith", but "Chazown" was great, especially the internet tools. I can't wait for several of these speakers new releases!
