Every year since 2003, I have attended the Global Leadership Summit, with the exception of 2012. It’s been a shot in the arm for me, as I gear into the fall and take time to learn from some of the best leaders in the nation. It’s been my practice over the years to recap the day, either by blogging or writing down the leadership nuggets for the day. So here is my recap from Day One of the 2014 Global Leadership Summit:
