Right-Brain Justified
Scaling Cultures Through Unmistakable Leaders
What makes some companies truly unmistakable? In Right-Brain Justified, leadership experts Mike Novakoski and Rob Dwortz of Become Unmistakable reveal it's not just about processes and profits―it's about people. Drawing from neuroscience and decades of organizational transformation experience, they present a revolutionary approach to leadership that bridges the gap between analytical business needs and human connection.
The authors introduce their brain science-backed methodology for helping leaders "toggle right"―accessing both logical and emotional intelligence to create extraordinary workplaces. Through their manager upskilling platform uMap™ and the Become Unmistakable (BU) approach, they demonstrate how vulnerability, authenticity, and psychological safety unlock human potential and drive measurable business results.
Right-Brain Justified builds on story of Mike's previous book, Become Unmistakable, with new stories, case studies and psychology theory.

Start The Journey From Commodity To Oddity
How do you lead your business?
No two companies operate the same way and neither should their styles of leadership. Unfortunately, many corporations use the same leadership methodologies and are afraid of deviating from the status quo. Business partners Mike Novakoski and John Parker of EV Construction, a Michigan-based construction company, believed a different way was possible.
Novakoski and Parker examine how business leaders can tap into their “right-brained leadership” to foster a creative and employee-centric culture. This book will show you how changing your leadership perspective and moving away from the commodity mindset can reap immeasurable benefits to your business.
