Every month we schedule our All Hands Meeting with every single person on our team: 1/ We lay everything on the table: From financials to project updates, and even our challenges like churn. No hidden figures, just real, impactful insights. 2/ Transparent ventures: Every new project is fully disclosed. We celebrate wins and learn from setbacks together. 3/ Truth first: We deal in facts, valuing honesty as the key to motivation and trust. 4/ Value-driven recognition: We end each month by honoring a team member who exemplifies our commitment to going the extra mile for real impact.

Here's to building a culture that fuels Monday morning smiles! (Join our community 👉 LeadershipClub.com)

If your business improves by just 1% every week, in two years you’ll have a completely different business 🚀 It's a belief I’ve always championed at Uniform Group Whether it’s a great new hire, a client win, a team event that strengthens bonds, or a meeting where client services, strategy, and creative align—each step, no matter how small, gets you closer to where you want to be. And over time, those small wins add up to something significant. An environment of growth and improvement helps you on the tougher days when obstacles arise. Every experience, whether a win or a setback, is a lesson to help you move forward. That’s why it’s vital to stay engaged with your teams: celebrate the wins, tackle the challenges together, identify areas for improvement (even when things are going well), and always be ready to make the necessary changes. Because when growth becomes your habit, success becomes inevitable. 📷 'tackling the challenges' (and getting wet) together at our annual team away-day in Yorkshire this summer... 🛶 💪

Don’t have your team ruckin’ - buckin’ and ready to fight. That only worked for Crime Mob. Instead, help them to see the tension you’re holding as the leader between the values of the organization today… And the vision you have for the organization tomorrow. As long as the team has access to the right data, then solid hires will for sure bring fresh perspectives to the future of the business. Healthier discussion. Better planning. Brighter future.

These folks right here! These are real MVPs when it comes to the operations you see out in the park. They are the engine that keeps the wheels of Ride Operations turning. You see all those ride operators out there staffing rides, these guys made sure they were there for you. You see those rides testing, these guys made sure every single one of them are safe for you. You see all those associates brooms in hand cleaning, these guys brought that broom to them. When I tell you the role of these guys right here is important, I mean we 100000% could not do it without them. And it’s truly a pleasure to do so with people who are so passionate about the industry and working with people. When it comes to writing nominations for our Values awards, sometimes the words can be hard to find to summarize a great contribution to the team in a few short sentences. But let me tell you, when it comes to the definition and meaning of what our Cornerstones and Core Values are, these folks right here would be the picture in the dictionary. Please join me in celebrating them for receiving their Values awards for all the hard work they do day in and day out.

Thought for the week 💭 “All minds need to see the whole task to contribute sufficiently, poor security may cost us the race, inefficiency will”. I absolutely love this scene from Oppenheimer and really enjoy how much it applies to business. Having a team who understands what role each individual plays in achieving the overall goal for me is one of the most crucial elements of successful teams. It’s so easy to only focus on your job and shift blame if something goes wrong, however, understanding the wider result of your input can provide the opportunity to stop mistakes happening elsewhere based on your own conclusions. Thought for the week - Don’t just show someone how to do a job, show them what that job contributes to the overall success of the team.

I had someone say to me once “I don't want someone telling me what to do”. And I thought, “Good. Because that’s exactly what I don’t do! 😊 Despite 15 years as a Physical Training Instructor in the Army, I can’t even get my young boys to eat their vegetables! ===== Anyway, you’re an adult, you don’t want anyone telling you what to do either. That’s good because coaching is not about telling people what to do. My role is not to tell you what to do but to support you to make the best decisions possible and then take the appropriate actions. You’re in charge of your business. ===== What are your thoughts on receiving instructions vs being guided to make the right decisions? ===== To find out more watch this video: https://lnkd.in/eyejkSsF ======== John McCarthy Guiding Law Firm Owners to Scale Their Practices Global Outstanding Client Results 2022 & 2023 EMEA Client Employee Engagement Winner Website: www.summitbusinesses.com Ring the 🔔on my Profile Connect with me / Follow me ⬆️ 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙤 "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙉𝙚𝙬𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧" (𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚): https://lnkd.in/eNTJbuK9 #law #lawyers #lawfirms #lawfirmmanagement #lawfirmstrategy
