Are you a leader from the people, are you loved and respected. Are you an aristocratic leader, who demands respect and uses fear and tactics of intimidation to lead? The Prince by Machiavelli certainly had a lot to say about this. For those who have been in a leadership position, whether running a company or large organization there is no doubt you understand the differences in how different folks apply leadership.
Are you a good leader? Do you know what it takes? No need to answer, I am reality based, I have been there, I know what it takes, I have dug ditches, shoveled sh_t and pressed on. I have done the hail Marry passes and been behind the eight ball, crashed and burned and ran away to fight another day. I have been thru the sewer, drug thru the mud, been whipped and beaten, kicked into oblivion, so I know what it takes. But focus, determination and unwillingness to surrender is necessary to win. No excuses, no sugar coating, no wimps. That's all.
Can you say the same? Have you also been to the school of hard knocks, have you let your adversity build your character? Can you look back today and say that you gave it your 100%? When was the last time you reflected on your style of leadership? Are you a good leader? The reason I ask is that re-affirmation is necessary, either one is in it to win it, or they are coasting. Have you bread that level of commitment into your company? We have and our team knows of the need to win, and that means 110% effort or more:http://www.CarWashGuys.com . You see it takes all you got and then some. And just when you think you got it, you better not look back or slow down, because that ball will be striped from your hands or you will watch the other team send one out of the park and into orbit in the top of the ninth.
So, am I: Too blunt, too driven, too hard on the natives? Okay? But winners are made of something. Real winners never, ever, ever give up or make excuses types. You have to be that good to win. To go all the way, that is what it takes folks. Come on you know that. Can you think on this tonight for me? Really think about your productivity, your groups success and you ability to lead. Think on that, I will get back to you later and check up.
