Leading the Business
“Being a leader is based on inspiration, not domination; on cooperation; not intimidation.” – William Arthur Wood
Owning or working in a family business, everyone must find their own path to leadership. A leader must inspire in more ways than one and rally their team to follow their lead and example to grow an organization that you all will be proud of.
This is where Become Unmistakable comes in. Mike Novakoski is a partner at this talent and team-engagement centered organization. Using the uMap platform, grounded in cognitive science and proven in practice, Become Unmistakable has a mission to “help teams connect, leaders inspire, and people thrive”.
Mike will be presenting to our audience on February 12th to share his vision and process to cultivate a growth centered mindset in your business and equip your team with all the tools they need to succeed under your unique leadership.
