I've started a number of businesses - thankfully most are successful. I thank God for that every day. I also thank the people who actually made it possible - the clients, the employees, and the great leaders steering the way.
My most successful businesses did well due to leadership - not just mine - but the people who rose up or got hired or promoted into the right leadership positions on both sides of the fence.
Leadership matters.
I've hired a number of bad leaders over the years and my businesses have suffered tremendously as a result. I've had leaders on my side of the business and bad customer leaders who shit the bed. Bad leaders are bad for business.
I've hired or promoted a number of great leaders who have excelled and the businesses have thrived well beyond my expectations. Great leaders are good for customers, employees, and for business performance outcomes.
The leaders who fail are usually "Me" people. They care only about themselves, how they are perceived, and how much they can line their pockets. They don't hesitate to fuck over their subordinates or screw over their clients or take a shit on other people to get ahead - including the business owner.
The leaders who succeed are "We" people. They care about others. They cultivate their subordinates to rise up. They will reach into their own pockets to raise people up professionally, spiritually, and financially. They are willing to go above and beyond to help the team win and perform beyond all expectations. They are selfless souls who do what is right.
Donald Trump is not a good leader. Trump is a selfish, self-absorbed prick. The sooner that piece of shit is gone, America will be feeling great and performing beyond expectations.
