Brian shares his entrepreneurial journey and introduces the five foundational pillars of leadership.

Executing on these five leadership pillars allows you to develop a high-performing organization. And help your managers get out of crisis mode so they can effectively lead their teams.

Brian Gottlieb is an inspirational business leader who in 2009, founded Tundraland Home Improvements on a plastic folding table with $3,000.

Twelve years later, when he sold the family of businesses he created, they had diversified products, expanded across multiple states, grown to 600 employees, and neared $1 billion in lifetime sales. The company was recognized by INC 5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies in America.

Brian's leadership principles are simple: Have a well-defined strategy, empower your teams, provide world-class training, and execute with consistency.

He believes that if you want to build a business, you must commit to building people. This clarity of focus created a meaningful culture, making his company the best place to work in his home state.

Brian's book "Beyond the Hammer: A Fresh Approach to Leadership, Culture, and Building High Performance Teams" is being published by Forbes and will be available September 10, 2024.
