Key Talking Points
- A few months prior to the meeting Brian opened his books to a small “Advanced Team” (marketing, processes, culture, ROs)
- “Advanced Team” observed for a full day. The second day is implementation and meetings with everyone involved. People are assigned ‘tasks’ (facility, management system etc).
- Accountability groups for areas that need to be focused on- continual process based on needs
- Coming to help, not to make you feel bad
- Shows the opportunity
- Don’t think you are on an island and doing a good job- build the bridges and have your iron sharpened with the help of others
- Your competitor is the person that is better than you
- Family culture is a testament to Brian’s leadership
- The networking during the dinners, lunches, breaks is just as important as the meetings
- The exposure of your weaknesses/opportunities of your leadership/procedures. Then your ability to grow from it.
- Always walk away learning something
