A HUGE thank you to the Ron Clark Academy and Victra - Verizon Authorized Retailer for the most amazing summit I’ve been a part of yet. I’ve spent the last few days reflecting on the impact we have as leaders. In leadership, I’ve learned that half-hearted coaching and conversations simply won’t cut it. Our role extends beyond mere titles; we have to be the source of positivity and stability for our teams, and we are solely responsible for shaping our culture. Are we doing so with intention? Are we truly living our values? Values are so much more than words on the wall. They’re the principles we live by. I don’t want followers based on a title; I want to earn their trust by positively impacting their lives. My advice to fellow leaders: Own your role, take pride in your work, and go the extra mile. Handle the tasks no one else is willing to. This position isn’t just a job; it’s a means to support your family and reach the next stepping stone in life, but more importantly, you have the role of impacting the trajectory of people’s lives. I can say that after a tough talk from Scott Tollett, myself and quite a few others walked out of that room with a renewed sense of ownership and dedication to that mission. I can’t wait to see what the next two months, and 2024 have in store. #VNation #Victra #RCA #PacificDynasty #LoveWhatYouDo

This week, Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart, visited our New York and New Jersey teams. Here are my 3 key learnings from the session with him: 1️⃣ Don’t underestimate your own impact: When speaking to Doug, some Walmart associates underplayed their own role compared to the CEO. Doug reminded us that he wasn’t always CEO, he is with Walmart for over 30 years and he held various positions across the organisation. What ever your role is, work like it is your own company. Believe in what you do more than anybody else. 2️⃣ Learn from competition: Doug got some questions about old and new competitors. He reminded everyone of Sam Walton who visited competitor’s stores regularly. Instead of only recognizing how poor a competitor performs, Sam also acknowledged their strengths. Learn what customers like about your competitors and try to be better at it. 3️⃣ Know which battles you can‘t win: Some associates asked why Walmart is not operating in certain markets. Doug‘s answer reminded me of a Sun Tzu quote „If a battle cannot be won, do not fight it“. That does not mean that you will never win, but prepare for it to ensure you will win it. What are your key leadership insights? #leadershipinsights #businessstrategy #dougmcmillon

From Warehouse Worker to CEO: Walmart's Doug McMillon Shares His Success Secrets Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart, started his journey with the company as a 17-year-old warehouse worker in 1984. Over the span of 30 years, he climbed the corporate ladder, becoming the company's youngest CEO since its founder. In a recent interview with Fortune, McMillon shared his advice for those looking to emulate his success: 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲, even if you don't have all the answers.

🎉 Celebrating one year with Walmart Data Ventures in none other than the legendary Sam M. Walton Auditorium in Bentonville—It’s like having your work anniversary in the Hall of Fame! 🏆 Reflecting on this year, here are three leadership nuggets from the man himself, Sam Walton, that have guided my journey: 1️⃣ Listen to Everyone: “Great ideas come from everywhere if you just listen and look for them.” Even the quietest voice can carry the biggest innovation! 2️⃣ Appreciate Associates: “Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise.” Turns out, a simple “Thank you” can move mountains. 3️⃣ Swim Upstream: “Go the other way. Ignore the conventional wisdom.” If everybody else is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction. Here’s to another year of growth, innovation, and, of course, more legendary workshops. #Leadership #Anniversary #SamWaltonWisdom

I was at Anheuser-Busch for years, and the debacle that occurred with Bud Light would have not taken place, most likely, with the previous leadership. We researched things carefully before jumping. Either it was a failure to understand the risks, or the advice was ignored. Both are preventable errors. But the advisor's own credibility should be considered too. Sometimes, the presentation of the advice hurts the perception of the quality of the advice because of the credibility of the counselor who delivers it. A rookie with no depth of experience just isn't going to get listened to on a serious matter. #brandengagement
