4/20/07 - Boss Talk II
Yesterday, I shared five tips from a CEO on how to gain market share in a mature market So today, I thought I would share five tips from another CEIO on the challenges of running a national brand that depends on local decisions.
 
Domino's Pizza's CEO David Brandon feels that "pizza is local" - a challenge for a national brand. His five tips on leading a business are: 1) spend more time with customers than in the office; 2) don't ask people to do things you wouldn't do; 3) surround yourself with terrific people; 4) lead by example, and; 5) adapt to change quickly.
 
These tips suggest that Mr. Brandon understands the importance of customer connectedness and how that is facilitated by leadership. I can't help but read between the lines that he wants to create a connection with his employees as an example of the connection he wants his employees to have with customers. Even if we are not the CEO, each one of us in our own way leads a business. How do you lead your business?
