NEEDHAM, MA--(Marketwired - Feb 24, 2015) - Widely regarded as the property insurance industry's premier thought-leadership conference, the 9th Annual Property Innovation Summit is an exclusive event that brings together senior property executives from the nation's top insurance carriers for two days of learning and networking April 27-29 at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA.

Participants will have a number of opportunities to share ideas more informally during multiple networking events.

Jack is the best-selling author of a number of books including "Results-Based Leadership" and "The Inspiring Leader: Unlocking the Secrets of How Extraordinary Leaders Motivate."
"The best leaders set the example of being open to new ideas," said Zenger. "They welcome the involvement of others, realizing that collaborative groups have been shown to produce greater innovation than individuals."
