Yesterday, I had a wonderful opportunity to listen and learn from some brilliant and experienced leaders in the beverage industry at the 2024 Beer Marketer's Insights Seminar in New York. I wanted to share a few notes I took from Jim Sabia of Constellation Brands. 1. Developing brands starts with investing the time to build a solid foundation. This is a long game strategy that requires discipline and commitment. 2. Truly listening to the consumer combined with a savvy approach to relevant market expansion and disciplined resource allocation are crucial factors for success. 3. Business leaders must focus on the health and consistency at the "core" of the business. If the core is unhealthy the rest will fail. Solid wisdom from a leader who gets it. #modelo #beer #leadership #businessprinciples #buisiness Holon Law Partners

Being a leader is a responsibility and a privilege which gives you the power to impact others positively or negatively. On a road trip with my family and stopped to have lunch at a fast food restaurant. The manager on the loud speaker asked for everyone’s attention to announce two promotions. He thanked them for their hard work, said their names and everyone inside erupted in applause with the two promotees beaming. It reminded me that how we treat others matters and those small moments of appreciation make a difference. With the climate in business and the world today hope leaders can get back to basics and realize, deep down, that their team just wants to feel seen and appreciated. #leadership #teamwork

Restaurant owners often make the mistake of having more locations than their capabilities allow. Stretching yourself too thin by expanding too fast is dangerous. Instead of rushing into additional stores, invest in leveling up your leadership talents first. Learn to teach managers before scaling. Prioritize elevating your skills to match your growth.

Lightbulbs & Learnings Great day yesterday continuing the journey from being a manager to being a leader with this fine bunch from Mildreds . No one can say that life in Hospitality is easy right now, which is why I always find the energy and enthusiasm these young restaurant professionals bring to every one of our development sessions. Yesterday we sat above the development kitchen and worked through some of the Purple Story (The Home of Operational Excellence) leadership fundamentals. The biggest lightbulbs of the day came from 2 favourites. The Pyramid of a trust from Patrick Lencioni’s 5 Dysfuntions of a Team, and The Shadow of a Leader and how what we say, do, prioritise and measure manifests itself in our leadership style. It was a bit of a landmark module, as all the previous discussions began to knit together and make real, practical sense and everyone is getting clearer on the tweaks and changes they need to make to be more effective. Btw, I’m the big purple guy at the back. The old looking one! 😆 If you have a group of Potentialists in your business who are on the transition from managing to leading, please get in touch with Lynda Merryweather to find out how Purple Story can help you and them. #future-fit #leadership #operationalexcellence
