6:00 – 7:00 p.m.	Chairman’s Lecture – Leadership for the 21st Century During the U.S. conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, Jeff Eggers witnessed first-hand the troubles legacy institutions have when facing smaller, newer, and more adaptable enemies. Having served as both a leader of high-performing teams and an advisor to leaders at the highest levels of the U.S. government including to the President, he now focuses on building modern models for leadership and organizational performance that draw on lessons learned as a Navy SEAL, in the White House, and from his extensive research into behavioral science. Eggers looks at why humans have a “terrible track record of predicting conflict and change”—and how to better prepare for the accelerating effects of societal, technological, and business transformation—as well as what roles leadership and culture play in developing of winning teams. He presents a roadmap for leadership in an unpredictable world and prepares companies to fight complacency, embrace rapid change, and drive innovation from the top down.

Whether you are dealing with disruptive technology, shifts in customer expectations, or changes in regulation, as a leader you must apply an innovative approach to effectively navigate disruptive forces.

Golf

Both golf tournaments will be held on Sunday, January 26th at the Westin Kierland Golf Club.

8:30 a.m.	Morning Golf Tournament shotgun start (shamble)
1:00 p.m.	Afternoon Golf Tournament shotgun start (scramble)

Golf Tournament Registration Fee: $275
Registration includes: greens fees, cart fees, practice balls, light breakfast or boxed lunch, beverages and service fees.

What is the difference between scramble and shamble golf tournaments?
In a scramble, each golfer in the foursome takes a shot from the tee. From that point, the team decides who has the best drive, and all players advance forward to that spot to take their second shots. This process continues, with the best shot being taken each time, until a member of the team is able to hole out. The team’s score for that particular hole is recorded as the number of team “strokes” it took to get the ball in the cup.

A shamble is slightly different in that only the best drive (or tee shot) is used for each team member’s first shot. From that point, normal stroke play ensues as each player plays his or her own ball, and each golfer is responsible for holing out in the fewest number of shots. Thus, a scramble continuously uses the best shot from the group, while a shamble uses only the best drive.
