Business executives, line leaders, managers, human resources leaders, training professionals and FranklinCovey client facilitators are invited to attend the summit, which will include two keynote speeches from Covey, as well as sessions with other FranklinCovey senior consultants. Attendees will learn how to move their teams and organizations to greatness as follows:

8:30 - 9:30 a.m. - Organizational Greatness: What the Research Shows - Jennifer Colosimo, Vice President, FranklinCovey: What drives the difference between mediocre performance and greatness? Data shows that the difference is execution. Review findings from the world's largest study on execution and cutting-edge research on the practices that drive great performance. Understand how combining sustained financial performance, intensely loyal customers, engaged employees and a distinctive contribution is essential to organizational greatness.

9:45 - 11:30 a.m. - KEYNOTE: Inspiring Great Leaders and Managers - Dr. Stephen R. Covey, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman, FranklinCovey: "Old school" leadership styles have become irrelevant in the Knowledge Worker Age. People cannot be managed as if they are simply assets - or worse, liabilities - viewed in the organizational scheme on the same level as office furniture or computers. In order to unleash the potential of their teams, today's leaders must see workers as "whole people" (body, mind, heart and spirit) who have a unique contribution to make in moving the organization forward. Leaders must manage the knowledge each worker brings to the table, not just the tasks those workers are responsible for completing.

11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Lunch/Expo

12:45 - 2:00 p.m. - Achieving Business Results through Great Execution - DeVerl Austin, Senior Consultant, FranklinCovey: Effective teams and organizations are great at execution. They focus their efforts carefully on their "wildly important goals" - those few goals that matter more than anything else. The 4 Disciplines of Execution provide a process that ensures focus and execution on the organization's top priorities. Participants will learn:

* Clarify the key activities that have maximum impact on a team's top goals.

* Leverage tools to help focus a team on key goals and stay on track to achieve them.

* Adopt new and better ideas and tools to share with a team to help them execute with excellence.

2:15 - 3:30 p.m. - KEYNOTE: The Speed of Trust - Dr. Stephen R. Covey, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman, FranklinCovey: Strengthen organizational results by focusing on the foundation of personal trustworthiness - character and competence. Learn the components of self trust, relationship trust and stakeholder trust that ultimately drive a high-trust culture. Participants will learn:
