What executive leaders can learn from Dreamland BBQ

Success is simple (not easy) and these core components are consistent across industries. In fact, when we surround ourselves with people who help us focus on the right things, they're pretty easy to spot!

Last week, while in #tuscaloosa#alabama, I visited the flagship Dreamland BBQ restaurant -- opened in 1958 by founder John “Big Daddy” Bishop himself. The slab with sauce and sides (slaw, mac, and white bread) was genuinely exceptional!

I was also reminded of a few things leaders can do to enable and sustain success --->

➡ Put in the hard work

➡ Tell a compelling story

➡ Offer an exceptionally high-value product, service and experience

➡ Communicate your unique value proposition (to breakout from competitors and avoid being commoditized)

This is not a paid endorsement. I was simply so impressed with Dreamland BBQ's product and focus on excellence that I was compelled to share.

How do you apply these core principles? Are you creating evangelists for your brand? Is your C-suite aligned towards a common vision and mission?

Most important: Are you still tackling executive challenges alone?
