Each Monday, DLP Capital kicks off the week with our Company Huddle. Whether remote or in-office, working as an employee of DLP Capital, DLP Bank, or Dream Live Prosper Communities, everyone comes together for this early morning meeting to align for the week ahead and celebrate wins as a team. The meetings always end with a quote read by a team member, giving everyone some inspiration to take with them. This quote below from Theodore Roosevelt closed one of our recent huddles and, since then, has found a spot framed in my office. It reminds me of the team we work tirelessly to build at DLP, made of individuals and leaders ready to take their place in the arena. Make no mistake: being the man or woman in the arena isn’t easy. It’s not playing a passive role on the sidelines; it’s taking charge with two hands firmly placed on the wheel, steering the ship not just by making decisions but, more importantly, by owning the execution and results—whether things go right or wrong. These are the people who step up, bring forward new ideas, take charge, and take criticism, not those who sit comfortably in the shadows, criticizing others. These people represent the smallest percentage of our society but can make the most significant impact, which is why we are committed to developing these leaders here at DLP. Our mantra, "Leaders Made Here," is a call to those who want to take their place in the arena. There are innate qualities within all leaders that can’t always be taught, especially discipline and drive. These are the people we seek out, whether they know they have leadership within them or not. From there, we pride ourselves on offering the resources and opportunities for those who wish to become the man or woman in the arena.
