The leadership journey is not about attaining a destination but about embracing the continuous process of growth and transformation. As leaders navigate through this dynamic landscape, they encounter opportunities to refine their skills, cultivate resilience, and foster a sense of purpose within themselves and those they lead.
This week, Daniel interviews Ed Roberts, the COO of Bozard Ford Lincoln. Ed started his career in humble beginnings as one of the company’s early employees. By setting ambitious yet achievable goals and consistently reevaluating expectations, he helped expand the dealership into the country’s largest and highest-performing Ford store. His story of perseverance in the face of challenges and commitment to ongoing personal and organizational growth continues to inspire others to push beyond perceived limitations.
Daniel and Ed cover practical leadership strategies proven in the real world. Listen in as they talk about growing through adversity, setting clear expectations for your team and revisiting them regularly, coaching for improvement versus punishment, how assuming less and communicating more can help drive commitment and progress, and techniques for having difficult yet constructive conversations.
“All those obstacles make us who we are. It's how we overcome them that defines what we can be.” Ed Roberts
