As former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rt Hon Tony Blair has extensive leadership experience and is considered one of Britain's most internationally recognized statesmen.

Dear Friends,

As you know, each year The Leadership Summit team commits to bring you a faculty of expert leaders and thinkers that will stretch your thinking and deliver practical skills.

2009 is no exception.

Earlier this year we announced 16 members of our faculty, which include entrepreneurs, pastors, professors, best-selling authors and even a rock star.

But God had bigger plans.

Through God's grace and our collective prayers, Tony Blair has graciously agreed to be on the faculty of The Leadership Summit 2009 through a pre-recorded videocast.

As former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rt Hon Tony Blair has extensive leadership experience and is considered one of Britain's most internationally recognized statesmen. This man has been through the crucible of leadership and I think there's so much we can learn from him.
