Q&A WITH CHAD VORDENBERGE
Coming Soon!
Here are 20 of Chad’s “Executive Lessons”:
- LOVE is spelled TIME- get time with those who matter to you.
- Trust is takes time to build but can be completely lost in the matter of a conversation.
- Capitalize on momentum, you never know how long you’ll have it.
- Emotional management always comes before managing actions or results.
- Don’t get caught up in limited thinking, it’s dangerous.
- Treat people for who they can be, not who they currently are.
- Am I running my business or someone else’s? Run it your way.
- Develop core anchors that help drive your daily decisions.
- Question everything in a positive way in order to innovate.
- Success is an accumulation of small daily decisions. When you look back, there is always a trail of doing the right thing.
- Teach out loud and often.
- Treat everyone equally by treating them differently. Everyone needs something different than another person.
- Culture is best read when the leader isn’t there.
- You have two paths in life. The path you choose or the path someone else chooses for you.
- A trained mind is better than any script.
- Pleasing results have to come before pleasing methods.
- Don’t chase numbers, chase quality.
- The more impactful your position, the longer it takes to get paid on your actions.
- Any time a key indicator of your business is trending down, you need to focus all energy on it. Immediately.
- What you appreciate appreciates.
