But how do you create a culture of innovation that enables a big company to think and act like a small one? Mark shares insights on world-class companies that struggled with change
• some that failed to adjust to meet changing markets and others that reinvented their business models and transformed entire industries with disruptive innovations. Mark answers several questions that will help you understand how to:
• Enable your teams to not only embrace change, but lead business transformation

He presents case studies from many of these leaders including his experience working directly with several of them. He outlines how the Most Admired leaders have achieved such enduring success over decades and how they consistently:
• Recruit, Build and Retain the highest performing teams
• Create a corporate culture that Inspires loyalty and engagement
• Face adversity and bounce back from failures
• Challenge themselves and their teams year after year to outdo themselves and achieve continuous and long-term growth
• Learn what their MVP’s value and what drives them in their lives and work
In this high-impact keynote, Mark reveals the critical drivers behind long-term sales growth and enduring success. He lays out the key factors that differentiate companies that are Good, those that become Great and those that are ADMIRED.
• How world-class teams generate unstoppable growth
