Expressing deep gratitude for the incredible journey in retail and the invaluable lessons bestowed upon me by inspiring leaders. 🙏 Reflecting on this path, I've come to understand that success isn't solely about pursuing personal desires; it's a collaborative effort within a team. Through the ups and downs of the retail landscape, I've learned that true leadership goes beyond individual aspirations. It's about creating a cohesive and supportive team environment. Each leader I've encountered has left an indelible mark, teaching me the importance of empathy, resilience, and leading by example. As I continue to grow both personally and professionally, I am genuinely thankful for the experiences that have shaped my perspective. Here's to embracing the journey, cherishing the lessons, and always striving to set a positive example for those around me. #Gratitude #RetailJourney #LeadershipLessons #TeamworkMatters

🤏🏼LITTA BITTA VALUE🤏🏼 Accessibility. I’ve been privileged to have the access to the leaders across Walmart and Sam’s that I’ve had. 🗃️But the theme of access is reoccurring: Access to information. To resources. To people. It’s individuals that genuinely care about or take an active role in my development that have afforded me the growth I’ve experienced. All we should ever want as People Partners or senior leadership is the proliferation of that next class of leaders… And we should do everything in our power to help bolster that! 👂🏼My challenge to everybody this week: meet with your team. Block out 10-15 minutes per member to hear about what you can do for them. 👁️Follow up once you’ve actioned what you can so that there’s visibility into your act of service. A workforce needs demonstrated leadership that fosters development… Be that change if there is not already a culture of growth around your team! #HRcommunity #leadership #accessibility #development #growth #peoplepartner #WhatCanIdoForYou ( 4 / 60 )

"Leadership Lessons from Steve Jobs In 2007, Howard Schultz, Starbucks' founder and CEO, had a pivotal conversation with Steve Jobs. Jobs urged Schultz to "fire your entire leadership team if you want to save Starbucks." Schultz was hesitant, but Jobs' warning proved prophetic. Within a year, the entire leadership team left the company, except for the general counsel. Schultz later reflected on the conversation, realizing that Jobs' advice was a wake-up call to reevaluate the company's leadership and strategy. Starbuck was saved by him from that time following the advice of Steve & Coherent of Howard's brilliance! Later on the company named him "lifelong Chairman Emeritus." This story highlights the importance of: 1. Seeking guidance from mentors 2. Being open to constructive criticism 3. Making tough decisions to drive change What leadership lessons have you learned from mentors or have you had any such experiences? Share your insights in the comments below! I would love to learn from you :) #Leadership #Mentorship #Innovation #Starbucks #SteveJobs

Like Walmart or not, Sam Walton had an outlook that believed people are the most important asset and genuinely cared about people. His simple philosophy was ensuring that if you want the people in the store to look after the customers, the leaders have to make sure they are taking care of the people. Granted, Walmart has grown and our perception may or not be outstanding in this regard but most will never run an organization of this size. The main thing is leaders go out of their way to prioritize their people. The good news is X5 Management has training for that!

How many people do you help each day day? The more people you impact many times the more you will be paid. It doesn’t matter what you are selling. Walmart impacts millions of people each day and makes billions. A solo business owner impacts maybe a few hundred people and makes maybe a few hundred thousand. How many people do you impact? What can you do to impact a greater number of people with same 24hrs in the day? #leadership #buildwealth #sellmorecars

When asked how he became so successful, Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, famously replied, "I've made a lot of good decisions." But what about the bad decisions? Walton also acknowledged that he learned to make good decisions by making a lot of bad ones. This is a lesson that every leader can take to heart. Making mistakes is inevitable, but it's how we handle the aftermath that truly matters. Great leaders take responsibility for their mistakes and work to ensure that they don't compound the problem. They learn from their missteps and use that knowledge to develop better strategies for the future. So the next time you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up. Instead, focus on how you can learn from the experience and become a better leader as a result. Remember, it's not about avoiding mistakes altogether, it's about how you handle them that truly defines your leadership. #leadership #mistakes #learning #growth

Great insights into retail leadership from Judith McKenna, former Walmart International President & CEO from the keynote interview at today’s #worldretailcongress. Valuable takeaways on communicating purpose, finding and empowering the right people and making bold choices.

The Power of Self-Awareness: Learning from Howard Schultz's Leadership Approach. Here’s a powerful leadership lesson I’ve learned from the former CEO of Starbucks. As an executive coach with Mason & Co., I often reflect on leadership qualities that are often untapped during practice. And Schultz is a prime example of a leader who practiced this. Schultz has openly acknowledged his weaknesses and missteps throughout his career, despite his huge contribution in leading Starbucks into a distinguished global brand in the coffee industry. He initially failed to connect Starbucks' services with the changing needs of customers. But he was self-aware and knew the areas he was lacking. So he pivoted Starbucks' strategy to have more product offerings and adopt a more personalized experience by promoting an inclusive environment for both the employees and customers. Howard reflected on his experiences and understood how this decision can impact the lives of others. As leaders, we often feel lacking - and that's great! You know where to improve and what to change. The worst thing that could happen is to get blinded by overconfidence, not knowing where you lack. When leaders are self-aware: - they adapt quickly - they build stronger teams - they promote sustainable growth Remember, to acknowledge is to improve. Lead and inspire others with this strategy. Are you self-aware? Mason & Co #executivecoaching #mentoring #executiveleaders #leadership #Inspiration #thoughtleadership

leadership doesn't come with a title. being in charge doesn't make you a leader. leadership is developing those in your charge
