Burger King’s Post

The power of confidence and trusting oneself through life's challenges is one of the most valuable lessons. It's inspiring to see that a fellow leader like Brian Niccol, CEO of Chipotle, shares this sentiment. In his advice to Miami University graduates, he emphasized self-belief, action, valuing democracy, and building relationships. Read the article from Jane Thier in Fortune here.

Tomorrow is my official go live day - Mai Sushi Area Manager covering from Oxford to Aberdeen. I took two days off last week to take time, energise and get ready. I watched America’s Sweethearts. Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I’m empowered and inspired. Focussed. DCC have a culture - a lifestyle, a family. Based on results. Not emotion. Fact, supported with feelings of love and care. From 1000’s to just 36 women. High performers for 5 years if they want it. What a foundation to build on. I’m going into this week building a culture of respect, inspiration and empowerment. Built with integrity and care. To be that leader of a brand that people want to thrive with, empowered to deliver the best, standout as a winning team and be bold to work united. Our values at Hana Group are clear - we care, we act, we dare, we trust. I’m the fortunate one lead Mai in the North. I’m stoked to have this role and can’t wait to see what we deliver. Here’s an action for you. Watch America’s Sweetheart, reflect on how to build a winning team just like they did! Be that leader that everyone wants to be with, for your team. Not for you. #uniteandinspire #dcc #leaders #thrive

As a self-proclaimed barbecue connoisseur, my culinary quests have led me to many smoky pits, but none have captured my heart quite like Bludso's BBQ. This haven of smoked meats is more than just my favorite barbecue spot in the world; it's a journey into the very soul of barbecue, all thanks to Kevin Bludso's masterful touch. From the vibrant streets of La Brea to the distant shores of Australia, Kevin's barbecue has become a beacon of culinary excellence and a testament to the resilience and creativity of Black entrepreneurship. Kevin's journey, from a childhood steeped in the rich barbecue traditions of Corsicana, Texas under the tutelage of his beloved Granny, to becoming a celebrated chef in Los Angeles, is nothing short of inspiring. His initial reluctance to join the food industry, overshadowed by a vow never to enter the restaurant business, transformed into a passionate pursuit fueled by his deep-rooted love for the craft he learned in his Granny's backyard. Kevin's story is woven with threads of heritage, hard work, and the heartwarming aromas of smoked meats and homemade sauces. However, Kevin's path was fraught with hurdles. Facing racial discrimination and overcoming professional obstacles, including an unjust termination from his position at the Department of Corrections, his resilience in the face of adversity fuels my entrepreneurial journey. Kevin's ability to turn challenges into stepping stones has not only elevated Bludso's Bar & Que to widespread global acclaim, making him an author, James Beard Award winner, and television personality but has also cemented his status as a beacon of inspiration and a symbol of triumph against the odds. His journey, intertwined with the essence of Black History Month, showcases the enduring spirit of those who strive to carve out their dreams amidst adversity. Kevin's narrative, rich with passion, perseverance, and a dash of Granny's barbecue wisdom, affirms that the essence of success is indeed boundless. #blackhistorymonth #leadership #inspiration #entrepeneurship

One summer in college, I worked about six weeks at Taco Bell. If you weren't aware the fast food franchises makes most of their money on penny margians at scale. After a couple of weeks I got really tired of cleaning up the hundreds of randomly discarded lids from people trying to find the right size for their cup. I mentioned to my shift lead that it would be nice if we could label them and reduce that waste. Instead of discarding the ideas of a new employee who barely understood how to make a chalupa, she accepted the input of a new perspective and dug up a label maker from the office. Now this didn't eliminate the problem in its entirety, but it did slightly reduce the waste. So often in leadership roles we get a "No, but..." response. It is always easier to do things the way we have always done it. This moment taught me the importance of #yesandleadership. We can do a better job of listening to the ideas of new voices. Try practicing #yesandleadership in your organization and let me know how it goes!

💔 This hits close to home. As a restaurant leadership coach, I'm deeply concerned. Success leaves clues, but what's happening is terrifying. The flagship Panera and multiple Starbucks locations in Toronto are closing their doors, while big brands still thrive. But what about the independent operators? According to Restaurants Canada, 51% are at a break-even or loss. Even before the pandemic, the average operator made less than 5% net profit. Imagine taking a loan, working hard, and still not being able to repay it. It's unjust. Let's raise awareness about the math. The top performers may find opportunities, but our beloved regional, multisite, and independent operators face potential bankruptcy. It's not just about venues, it's about jobs and our communities.

Takeout of the discussions of the #LeadersClub International #Exchange: Learnings when you want to expand cross borders and mistakes others have done: 1️⃣ be humble - accept that you don’t know the culture/people specifics, you need to learn about 2️⃣ the closest countries are the most difficult - because you assume you know them 3️⃣ look for a partner who shares the values, where the chemistry fits 4️⃣ it is a marathon: Expansion takes always more time and money than your worst expectation My #favorite: Never dance faster than the music plays!

Read this somewhere and i decided to share It's so heartwarming to write about this man. 200 years ago, a Christian Entrepreneur named John Cadbury laid the foundation for Cadbury Chocolate. John Cadbury's profound sense of social responsibility, inspired by his Christian convictions, formed the bedrock of both his company and his brand. In 1824, John Cadbury inaugurated the Cadbury grocery store with the vision that selling drinking chocolate could serve as a wholesome alternative to alcohol. His concern stemmed from the belief that alcoholism contributed to poverty by hindering people's ability to work. During an era when factories were often dismal and perilous environments, John Cadbury ensured that his factory was a safe and humane workplace. In 1893, he acquired land surrounding the factory to establish Bournville Village, a community designed for the well-being of the workers. His intention was to offer a secure and pleasant living space as an alternative to the grimy cities. Each dwelling in Bournville Village was designed for comfort and included a plot of land for cultivating vegetables. John Cadbury went above and beyond the norms of his time by providing his employees with competitive wages, medical care, educational opportunities, and pension plans. He also implemented the innovative 5-1/2-day work week and closure for bank holidays. Sports facilities within the factory were provided for the employees' recreation. In 1918, the Cadburys established elected work councils, comprising equal numbers of workers and management. Two centuries later, Cadbury stands as one of the world's largest businesses, valued at over $25 billion. John Cadbury epitomizes what Christian Entrepreneurship represents, demonstrating virtues and a culture that resonate with the teachings of Christ. As Christians in Business, we are called to emulate similar principles exhibited by John Cadbury, ensuring that our businesses serve a Greater Cause beyond mere profit. So, Dear Christian Entrepreneur, Are you building a business that will withstand the test of time, serving both God's Kingdom and humanity? Daniel Adeniyi #mysmallbusinessbiggod
