Witnessing kindness and respect in action is a powerful reminder of what true leadership is all about. Tracy Schultz and I recently experienced this firsthand during a visit to Sea Isle City, NJ. Despite a hectic situation at a local restaurant, a young host remained calm and polite in the face of adversity. It starkly contrasted a customer who continued to rant about his pizza order without showing any signs of respect or politeness. This serves as a poignant reminder that leadership isn't about dominance, but rather how we treat others. As leaders, we can cultivate both directness and politeness in our leadership style. It's not an either-or situation. Being courteous can often lead to more effective communication and better results. How do you incorporate politeness and respect into your leadership style?

Many restaurant owners and managers mistakenly believe that being a strong leader means being tough, stern, and domineering. But the paradox of true leadership is that it's rooted in vulnerability, self-awareness, and a commitment to serving your team. When you lead with this mindset, you inspire people to reach their full potential - and that's when your restaurant truly thrives.

Leadership is simple. It's about being there for your team, listening to their ideas, and helping them grow. It means making decisions that are best for everyone, not just yourself. Good leaders don't sit back; they work with their teams to solve problems and reach goals. In leadership, it's important to be clear and direct. Tell your team what you need from them, and ask what they need from you. Be open to learning from mistakes, and always look for ways to improve. At the end of the day, being a leader means being someone your team can rely on. It's about building trust, showing respect, and being honest. When you do these things, you create a strong team that can achieve anything. #leadership #teamwork #ecommerce

What are you brewing, ⭐️shines? Just like a strong cup of coffee, authentic leadership has the power to wake people up and get them moving. But here's the catch: it only works if it's the real deal. In the same way that instant coffee can't compare to a fresh, aromatic brew, inauthentic leadership falls flat. People can sense when leaders are genuine and when they are just putting on a facade. True leaders inspire, motivate, and energize their teams by being transparent, honest, and genuinely committed to their people. So, how do we ensure our leadership is authentic? 1. Be True to Your Values: Know what you stand for and let your actions consistently reflect your beliefs. 2. Communicate Openly: Foster an environment of trust through transparent and honest communication. 3. Show Empathy: Understand and respect the perspectives and emotions of your team members. 4. Lead by Example: Model the behavior you wish to see in your team. Are you brewing your leadership with authenticity? #Leadership #Authenticity #LeadershipDevelopment #EmployeeEngagement #WorkCulture #Inspiration #Motivation #LeadershipTips

Is leadership like Butter Chicken? A seemingly absurd proposition.. If leadership could have a taste and flavour .. imagine if it tasted like butter chicken - universally loved. But here's the clincher - does true leadership really mimic the culinary versatility of chicken, or is it more like a complex recipe, requiring a mix of rare ingredients? Just like creating a perfect dish with ingredients .. effective leaders blend various qualities to inspire and guide their teams. Its like a signature dish of a restaurant... and they are both an Art as well as a Science.. I invite you to share your thoughts on this "absurd"comparison. What ingredients do you believe are essential in the recipe for effective leadership? #leadership #leadershipskills

“One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.” ~Lewis Carroll Service to others in leadership involves prioritizing the well-being and development of those you lead. It fosters a positive and collaborative environment, building trust and loyalty within the team. Successful leaders often find that by serving others, they create a more motivated and effective group. While every decision generally doesn’t go through this lens, it may be helpful to reflect on a regular cadence to understand if your decisions and actions are consistent with servant leadership or simply self-serving. #leadership #servantleadership

A good leader admits when things go wrong and shares praise when things go right. They take responsibility for mistakes and give credit to their team for successes. But a not-so-good leader often blames others when something goes wrong and takes credit for themselves when things go right. They don't own up to mistakes and don't give credit where it's due. Hence, the key is to be a strong leader who owns up to mistakes and acknowledges the team's efforts.  #strongleadership #owningmistakes #leadership

Without accountability, there is no trust, and without trust, there is no leadership. Dave Ramsey's words are a reminder that accountability is a crucial element in building trust and effective leadership. This quote is applicable to both personal and professional aspects of our lives. Whether it's holding ourselves accountable for our actions or encouraging accountability among team members, trust is built through consistency and transparency. As leaders, it is our responsibility to cultivate an environment where accountability is encouraged and rewarded. Let's strive to be accountable and build trust in all areas of our lives. #accountability #trust #leadership
