The Maximum Impact Simulcast: The Influential Leader will focus on the
qualities that all great leaders have in common. Based on the best-selling
book, Winning With People by John C. Maxwell, each speaker will illuminate certain qualities akin to their personal careers and experience, and provide in-depth perspective on how to unleash the influential leadership power in yourself and those around you.
