One of my favorite leadership events is the Global Leadership Summit hosted by Willow Creek Community Church pastor, Bill Hybels.  The Summit occurs the second week of August in Chicago, but there are remote video simulcasts in cities all over the world.

Every year, Bill opens the Summit by sharing what he has been learning as the leader of a large organization.  I will never forget the time Bill talked about, what he referred to as, the basic job description of every leader: To move followers from here to there.  Sounds pretty simple.  However, there are three critical nuances to doing it well.
