Leading with Genuine Care Thumb Pointers. Not Finger Pointers with Mat Ishbia
As a player on the elite Michigan State University basketball team, Mat Ishbia learned firsthand how great teamwork brought in the wins—and TWO back-to-back National Championships! Now, he’s brought that same mentality to United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) as the CEO and President.
Is your team in the habit of blaming others for problems, issues, or errors? Here’s why Mat says that only creates a less cohesive, collaborative team.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why accountability is crucial to being a team player
- How to create a supportive culture
- What Mat looks for while hiring new team members
- Why everyone can be a leader at their company
- How leaders can develop new leaders
- What it means to “coach people up”
- Why UWM are more than friends—they’re family
- How to get a win every day
- Why we need to embrace the underdog
- The importance of being true to who you are as a team player
- Why we need to embrace the journey no matter where it leads
- And so much more!
