Never be the person unwilling to “pick up a broom.” A friend of mine had a saying: "An operator should never wear cufflinks, because he’ll need to roll up his sleeves too often" There’s nothing wrong with being the person in the boardroom or playing the executive role—those moments are necessary. But great leaders know when to step down, roll up their sleeves, and get back into the mud with their team. ✅ Versatility matters – knowing when to play the part of the executive and when to jump in with your team shows strength. ✅ Empathy drives engagement – demonstrating that you’re with your people builds trust and loyalty. Remember, leadership is about balance: owning the suit when necessary but never forgetting the value of rolling up your sleeves.

5dBrad McDonald this is such a great truth. As a chef for many years of my career, picking up the broom or going to the dish room was not just out of necessity. It was a way for me to be reminded of where I had come from, but also a reminder to my team that I was more than just the leader of the kitchen I was invested into the team and the mission. This act has become one of my personal cornerstone values (humility) always remember where you started. I don’t pick up the broom to prove a point, I pick it up because it is what I needed.
