Success in business isn’t just about leading your team today—it’s about building your career for tomorrow.
Today, as founder and CEO of SailPoint Technologies, Mark applies that principle to lead one of the most respected companies in the identity security industry—recently named to Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list. His approach to leadership is also shaped by his years as captain of his high school basketball and baseball teams, where he learned that great leaders set the pace, keep the team focused, and put others in a position to succeed.
In this episode, you will learn:
-
Why culture is your organization’s ultimate stress test.
