"I look forward to meeting and introducing General Powell, and moderating the session following his address on leadership. The General is a powerful and riveting speaker.

General Powell will share his views on what it takes to be a true leader and his strategies for "taking charge" during times of great change and crisis. He will then engage the audience in a question and answer session, which is customary with the Summit's keynote format. Mary Federico, vice president of Aon/Rath & Strong, will precede the main keynote address with Three Sure-Fire Ways to Utterly Destroy Innovation at Your Company, a focused session on the behavioral and leadership aspects of innovation.
