Dear Son, someday soon, leadership is going to inspire you

Dear Son, you need to read all of this ‘professional’ riff to get the point at the end.

Leadership 101: Your employees take their cue from your behaviors, not your verbal promises. If there was a hiring freeze and you couldn’t replace a single employee for an entire year, would you treat your people better?

Why wait?

Can gratitude help you overcome many challenges?

Do your employees believe you are grateful they show up?

Do your employees feel valued, respected, and appreciated?

Decent chance their answer and yours are very different.

Son, i’m busting my butt to have our answers match.

On a run this past week to visit with a potential client staying at Disney World.

 

Working diligently, creatively, tirelessly, and joyfully is the only approach that makes the effort to stand out seem worthwhile.

Why?

Because standing out is virtually impossible.

Here’s to 2016 being the year you break away from the status quo.

Quick review of our three choices:

  1. Keep up with our competition
  2. Be the best in our category
  3. Become the category

Go!
