It’s Leadership Thursday!!!
Okay, I guess it’s finally my turn…
You guys see our posts, events, and everything we do in the community, but you might not know the man behind the phone!
I’m Michael, Executive Director of Marketing & Sales here at Chick-fil-A! 👋🏼 I’m behind our social media, events, marketing, and a lot of what we do outside our four walls. I get to work with local businesses, schools, organizations, first responders, and so many amazing people in our community. It’s easily one of my favorite parts of what I do!
So now that you know who’s behind the phone… here’s a little about me!
What does being a leader mean to you?
Being able to inspire people. I want to be a reason people enjoy coming to work, someone they can learn from, and someone who helps them succeed in their future.
Best leadership advice?
Never mistake being feared for being a great leader. A great leader is respected, never feared. People should follow you because they trust you, not because they’re scared of you.
Favorite part about being a leader?
Inspiring people to be better and getting outside our four walls. I love representing Chick-fil-A, building relationships, and making an impact in our community.
Go-to order?
12-count grilled nuggets, side salad, fruit cup, and a Diet Dr Pepper!!
Favorite position?
EVENTS!! Being able to represent Chick-fil-A while having fun with our community is unbeatable. Inside the restaurant, definitely window! I get to meet so many people and learn something new every day. Never a dull moment !!!
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Still serving my community, just hopefully in a different role. My goal is to become a first responder, specifically in law enforcement. Helping people and serving my community has always been a passion of mine.
Leadership to me isn’t about being the boss. It’s about leaving people better than you found them, helping them see what they’re capable of, and being someone they can count on. As well as gaining lasting connections with my team inside and outside the business.🐮🐮
