The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama on November 20, 2003.

This inaugural leadership event will be simulcast across the nation to select markets and will feature well-known business and Christian leaders. It will be hosted by Ken Blanchard, co-author of the One Minute Manager, and Rick Warren, author of the Purpose Driven Life.

This event is designed around demonstration of the perfect leadership model shown throughout the Bible by Jesus Christ. A leader is anyone with influence over the life of another person. Pastors, youth leaders, coaches, teachers, parents and CEOs can learn to lead like Jesus. The program will celebrate the leadership model of Jesus, and will train and encourage all leaders to follow His model.

Other scheduled speakers include Dan Cathy, President of Chick-fil-A, Laurie Beth Jones, author of Jesus CEO, Rosey Grier, legendary football star, Phil Hodges, co-author of The Servant Leader, William Pollard, Chairman Emeritus Service Master, Estean Lenyoun, President of Impact Urban American, Don Soderquist, Senior Vice Chairman of Wal-Mart, and James "Micky" Blackwell, former President and COO of Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems.

In addition, special music will be provided by Christian music artist, Charles Billingsley.

Throughout the day we will experience music, drama and prayer, in addition to hearing great speakers. The program design will follow the four dimensions we focus on in our Lead Like Jesus encounters:

* HEART (Intention and Motivation)
