Leadership

10/09/2017

I’m going to talk about how Chick-fil-a demonstrates leadership in my next blog. There are five leadership lessons that Chick-fil-a represents. The first leadership lesson is serving others with a smile on your face. If you’ve been at a Chick-fil-a restaurant, you know the restaurant staff has been trained to assist people very very politely and thanking them with a huge smile. Serving people with a smile on your face brings happiness not just to you but also to the person you are serving food too. The second leadership lesson is to remember great leaders that came before us. I’ve worked at a Chick-fil-a for two years and from my experiences, I’ve learned to always remember great Chick-fil-a leader's. It’s great to learn about them because they might help you to become a great leader as well. They are the ones that laid the foundation for us to be where we are right now as a Chick-fil-a organization. The third Chick-fil-a leadership lesson is to always treat your employees with respect and treat them right. This is really a life lesson as well because you want to treat other people the way you want to be treated. Chick-fil-a does a very nice job on treating their employees well. They provide meals for each employees that works at the store. The choice is up to the employee to choose whatever he or she wants. The fourth Chick-fil-a leadership lesson is invite others in. Chick-fil-a want the outsiders to experience their culture at first hand. They are always inviting people to come grab something to eat and socialize. Inviting people gives you the opportunity to show them what you do, why you do it, and show them that Chick-fil-a is the real deal. The last but not least Chick-fil-a leadership lesson is to always share your story. Chick-fil-a cares about people and their lives. Its one of the ways that they honor and glorify God. They want to hear your story and they will take the time to sit with you and just listen to you. As I’ve said earlier, working for Chick-fil-a as made me a better person because of what they stand for. They love people and love serving people. If you have a story to tell anyone, honestly Chick-fil-a is the right place to work for. Sharing your story makes people invest in you and in the near future, they might help you. What I’ve gotten from these five Chick-fil-a leadership lesson is to always try your best to be the best person as you can be because you never know when you might change someone’s life.
