How do you create a company that is considered one of the best places to work or one of the most successful in an industry? You don’t get that recognition from the old notion of being a boss; someone who tells people what to do. Is it all about who you hire, how you develop talent, or the products and services you sell? What’s the secret sauce?
Today, businesses successful at attracting and retaining talent, exceeding customer expectations, and becoming vanguard in their industries demonstrate a new vision of what it means to be boss.
Attend BizX 2019 to find out how some local business leaders are achieving success through this new vision, and learn how you can too!
Join entrepreneurs, small businesses, and industry leaders at the Golden 1 Center on May 7, 2019 for an afternoon of inspirational storytelling designed to energize, motivate, and give you practical tips to lead business growth, talent development, and competitive advantage.
Date: Tue, May 7, 2019
Time: 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: Golden 1 Center (Grand Entrance)
