This time last year we were in the thick of covid, now we have not only made it through this challenge but each of our teams have risen above and beyond our expectations. Every day I hear stories about members of our team being servant leaders to others and it makes me proud and grateful to be a part of this team.
This month I challenged our branch and operation leaders to take a “Head-Up” Day. We spend so much time doing head down work, it’s necessary to spend some time doing head up work if you are going to grow your business. This is not a day off, but a day ON; a day away from the office to work “ON” their business verses working “in” the business. Goal setting, planning, dreaming, assessing, and creating a model to move their team forward. I am looking forward to taking what we learn from this day and using it to make sure we are carrying out our mission.
Our company is experiencing an incredible growth spurt and with growth comes layers of challenges that often cannot be anticipated. As with every challenge, an opportunity will arise for leaders to step forward and seize the day. Our company is littered with potential and emerging leaders and I am looking forward to working with you as you grow into these game changing roles at our company. Who will be the next leader to step forward? How about you!
Let’s continue growing together,
Billy Duren
