“Everyone has the right to have a career not just a job at my company. Your job becomes your career the moment you see the possibilities for growth and satisfaction.” ~~ Mitch Weiner
Good Morning Folks,
Welcome to Monday. The dawn of a new day is the light of a new way. There is always a chance, a new opportunity but it starts today. So forget about the past and do not dream too much of the future. Stop searching and start being. Happiness is not a destination. It's HERE.
Today we can be the best father, the best mother, the best son and daughter. Today is the day to be the best brother and sister. Today we can be the best informtionalist. The best trainer. The best sales person. The best receivables collector. The best analyst. The best marketing director. The best manager.
==> Because Only Great Leaders Create Great Companies.
Great leaders will challenge and inspire their people in their quest for excellence. People will only experience a feeling of pride when they worked hard for their success. If success comes easily, overnight, without too much effort, pride will not enter the equation.
The quest for excellence never stops and is all around. In every piece of packaging. Every swipe of the finger. Every "How can I help you?" Everything.
And it doesn't matter just some of the time. It matters all of the time. A great leader must be able to light that spark of continuous improvement within each and every employee. One cannot become motivated just because the boss says so. Only intrinsically motivated people are able to amaze themselves and as a result amaze the world.
Whether you're making a product or offering a service, it all starts with the passion you have for whatever you do and the ability you have to focus your energy to become successful. A great leader creates a clear and compelling vision that makes people passionate.
That is our special sauce, a personal, passionate and productive culture that can't be failed or duplicated.
Over the years what I have found is the true personality of the leader becomes the personality of the business. If a leader truly has respect and trust built into their DNA then ultimately it flows through to the business. It may start by hiring like minded people. Typically when an entrepreneur starts out he or she will need support staff and the leader will hire based on skills and expertise. But there is a quiet voice from within the leader that says they want people to join their team that have similar values, traits and some form of commonality to their character..
==> A New Breed of Worker is About to Attack Everything You Hold Sacred.
In 2008, the renowned TV news program, 60 Minutes ran a story about Gen Y in the workplace and proclaimed that a "new breed of American worker is about to attack everything you hold sacred." The program described millennials as cynical, unaccustomed to hard work and having fragile egos because their childhoods filled with trophies and adulation didn't prepare them for the cold realities of work.
Gen Y sees what is known as the American Dream or middle class dream as less about money and more about living a fulfilling, meaningful life. So a couple of things are clear. First, Gen Y has a significantly different attitude toward work and life in general than the current dominant Baby Boom generation; and second, the current ongoing difficult economic times are placing the economic and social welfare of Gen Y in jeopardy, something that is not of their doing. We can only hope Gen Y will not be recorded in history as another “Lost Generation.”
As I wake up in wonderful New York City, the epicenter of world business- I can't help but think how awesome it is that we have so many cities and teams across FSO USA - how amazing are the opportunities for every single person in our great company - what a time in everyones careers to know that your future is so bright
Many of our competitors have fulfilled their declaration. In the meantime, they are maintaining status quo. Unless corporations create new declarations, their future will continue to experience results which resemble the past, with the addition of more, better or different. Quantum leaps require bold declarations and a clear committed mindset to navigate though change.
==> How Extraordinary Leaders Separate Themselves from Ordinary Leaders
Leaders do not have the luxury of falling back into their comfort zone. In some cases, creating a problem is designed to transform an existing problem. In other cases, it is designed to create a new and empowering future.
For example, when Jack Welch became the CEO of GE, there was nothing wrong with the enterprise. It was not in distress or in need of a turn around. Yet, he was committed to building an extraordinary corporation. So, he created a problem. He declared that every business unit had to be number one or number two in its respective industry. If they were not, the unit would be sold. If your unit were ranked number six in its industry, you would have had a problem.
At the same time, Welch stood for his people. Instead of micro managing them, he ensured they had the appropriate training and development to fulfil his declaration.
Is it possible for a CEO to create a new future for their organization? A big part of the CEO’s job is to do just that. Yet, many companies don’t invent the future. They maintain status quo. As a result, they become casualties of the economy or worse, the competition? Inventing the future requires one to rock the boat. Doing so, results in innovative products and services or significant cost cutting initiatives.
Nevertheless, many organizations choose to protect status quo because they are too vested in the existing infrastructure. On the other hand, when you look at extraordinary leaders, you find a complete disruption of status quo.
That's not about to happen here, Nevertheless, once a future is distinguished as is ours, it helps a person clearly distinguish the future as well as the necessary actions to fulfill it.
That's why on a day when the big news in business is that Nasdaq’s computers were hacked and Shakira Has hit 100 Million Fans on Facebook, we are a growing company, and with growth comes opportunity, inspiration, and of course some speed bumps along the way.
==> The True Personality Of The Leader Becomes The Personality of The Business
Almost most of our major competitors have all the mentioned ingredients in place but still most fail to get extra mile / advantage.
The company culture takes on the trust, respect, inspirations and other positive traits that one looks for in a leader and manifests itself into a language that also encompasses action which the company fulfills in the marketplace. The brand will embrace those actions in your services and methods of communication.
At the end of the day, we need to stay in-tune and continue to communicate those positive attributes we all strive for. We emulate them, we learn from them, we teach them and finally we simply share them. Living a positive life that helps others to grow. And so it continues....deeds will speak for themselves and build the trust and respect we all yearn for.
My commitment to you is that we will do all that we can and then some to meet and exceed your needs and expectations of FSO.
Be sincere, believe in why you do it & listen to people & bring people on board who have good character. Then you will truly lead to make a difference.
And most of all while growing, building and ensuring profitable galactic growth, we are inspiring our staff, our clients, our readers and that everyone is having some fun along with all the hard work.
Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.
