This session is dedicated to the possibility that the majority of leadership thinking is wrong as it is
ultimate based on manipulation - trying to “get someone to do something.” Coming to terms with this
idea is difficult and not for everyone because it requires us to examine some of our most deeply held
beliefs and either dismiss them or at least think differently about them. If you are interesting in having Ed Kless - Sage
a conversation about healing leadership, you are invited to attend this session facilitated by Ed Kless,
Sage senior director of partner development and strategy. This material is based on the work of
Howard Hansen and Steve Geske, who have presented at previous Sage Summits.

This session is dedicated to the possibility that innovation goes beyond just technological
developments. Technology is important, but it is only a small part of innovation. For innovation to be
more fully complete we must look at other areas including the internal processes of the organization
and most importantly the very language we use. Innovating like this is hard work and not for everyone
because it requires deeper thinking than is most often thought. If you believe you can attain this level
of thinking, you are invited to attend this session facilitated by Ed Kless, Sage senior director of
partner development and strategy.
