Leadership

Train, Treat, Repeat

Leaders have the ability to develop leaders, train them, and treat them like gold. They recognize strengths, improve on weaknesses and are wiling to give autonomy to those that excel. They take the role of coach and teacher seriously and realize that in order to raise the bar they must elevate every member of their team. Leaders treat others with respect that cannot be denied and will be reciprocated with a team full of peers that work for each other. Leaders train their teams well enough so that they can go on and excel anywhere they choose for employment and treat them well enough that they don't want to

Lead from the front

Leaders are not afraid to get their hands dirty. They pay attention, listen closely, speak directly, and treat others respectfully. They are self-aware and admit shortfalls even when it can be uncomfortable. Leaders are humble and do not believe their team is above anything. They compare their teams to the best and strive to be the team that others strive to be a Taco Time

Leader

Leaders always have the big picture in mind. They don't sacrifice the good of the company for the satisfaction of short-term victories. They represent themselves as the face of the entire company not just themselves or their individual teams. They are never better than the job at hand and always willing to do what is best for the company
