The chicken segment is one of the most dynamic and competitive among the large restaurant chains in the U.S. And while Chick-fil-A continues to dominate and Popeyes is taking over the 2nd in the rank, there has been significant movement in the rank among other mid-size leading chains over the last ten years. It goes to show that in the restaurant industry, you can never rest. Leaders are waking up to the realization that if they’re not growing fast they’re dying slowly.  Outgrowing and outsmarting your competitors requires using the power of long-term thinking. #restaurants #chicken #strategy #leadership

I am a big Starbucks fan ☕️ (no surprise to those that know me) I also love to think about leadership and how to develop teams so this article combines two of my 💕s! “Building a Culture of Stewardship” This also resonated with the Quaker culture at Sidwell Summer and our Auxiliary Programs at Sidwell Friends School! The incoming CEO is known for driving innovation and delivering exceptional customer experiences through stewardship of the organization and team members. Key ways: ✅ Giving team members the green light 🚦 to lead in line with the organization’s purpose and values ✅ Leading by example giving values and culture a soul and 💕beat ✅ Acting in the best interest of the organization - considering diverse perspectives, building confidence and pride 🌈 ✅ Letting team members lead and build the culture 🛠️ - “fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment that inspires and motivates” For my friends in leadership positions - any of this resonate with you? My SPARC, Summer Programs and Auxiliary Revenue Collaborative colleagues - does this feel campy to you? #independentschools #auxiliaryprograms #summerprograms #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching

Focusing on company culture is crucial for achieving higher levels of success, a belief that echoes the sentiments expressed by the CEO of Beam. He highlighted, "From the beginning, I firmly believed that culture was critical to delivering on business objectives and that the unique culture at Beam could be superpower. When culture lost its way or was deprioritized, it significantly impacted our success. Culture and values should become not just the way of thinking but also approach to the business and to each other." This message resonates with my own views on the integral role of culture in driving a company's success. #CompanyCulture #BusinessSuccess #Leadership #CorporateValues #BeamCulture #StrategicManagement #OrganizationalDevelopment https://lnkd.in/dexSVHXw
