I am starting to think I need to add a #SundayScottie segment with the run Scottie Scheffler is on. This week's #TigerTuesday would say otherwise. There are just three instances of a player winning five (or more) PGA Tour starts in a row in the last 60 years: - Tiger Woods (7 straight 2006-2007) - Tiger Woods (6 straight 1999-2000) - and Tiger Woods (5 straight 2007-2008). Scottie needs 3 more consecutive wins to match Tiger's streak of 5. There are countless warehouses out there where the same person is on the top of the leaderboard month in and month out. As someone in leadership, that poses a couple challenges: - How do I continue incentivizing this person to stay motivated? - What happens if they leave? - How do I bring the rest of the team "up to par"? These are conversations we have every day in the world of Warehouse Management. Come join the fun! #WMS #ecommerce

Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant advises that success comes from focusing on your strengths and not trying to master everything. He shared that the best advice he received during his transition from chief brand officer to CEO was to become a "black belt in marketing" and a "brown belt in everything else." Tresvant emphasizes the importance of empowering team members and recognizing that great leadership involves knowing when to admit what you don’t know. https://lnkd.in/dhv9DciN

Understanding where we come from shapes where we're headed. As leaders, it's crucial to understand the foundations of the companies we work for. That's why I believe, Sam Walton's "Made in America" is essential reading for anyone at Walmart. This book not only highlights how Walmart originated but also dives into the core values that drive our daily operations: hard work, innovation, and commitment to customers and associates. Today, I'm excited to gift my team copies of this timeless book. It's a reminder that when we align with the principles Sam Walton built this company on, we can make an even bigger impact on the lives of our customers and associates. #Leadership #Growth #Walmart #SamWalton #MadeInAmerica #TeamDevelopment

Last week, Starbuck’s named its third CEO in less than 2.5 years. The company faced two high-profile activists, criticism from longtime CEO Howard Schultz, and slowing sales. The incumbent, Laxman Narasimhan, appointed CEO in March of 2023 had little experience in running, no less turning around, a global restaurant operation. The expectation was that Narasimhan would “mature” under Howard Schultz’s tutelage. In contrast, Brian Nicoll, Chipotle’s CEO, had turned around the company, was paid handsomely for it, and was experienced in running a global restaurant business. And to lure Nicoll to Starbuck’s, the Board named him Chairman and CEO, a smart decision that is often a requirement in recruiting a proven CEO. There is a message here. All companies seeking external leadership, especially in turnaround situations, need to hire proven CEOs. As I discussed in my last blog, time will tell on Boeing. #turnaroundceo #leadership #newceos
