August 25, 1973 is a day that I’ll never forget. That’s the day that my father died. It’s also the day that I became the president of my father’s business. At the ripe old age of 20, I was suddenly in charge of, and responsible for, five employees – and all of them were older than me!
Circumstances beyond my control thrust me into leadership at an early age. There were a lot of things that I didn’t know back then. As I jumped into the business, I made a conscious decision to constantly learn and improve. I also realized that leadership is important, and that my leadership of Albert Moving and Storage would be critical to its success.
I spent decades growing our small moving and storage business, while concurrently starting-up 12 other businesses and operating units. Eventually, our business grew to employ over 150 people. Along the way, I learned plenty about how to lead (and also how not to lead).
After selling our company, I now have the time and opportunity to share with you the insights that I’ve had while starting, growing and leading multiple businesses.
Have you sensed a need to improve your leadership abilities? My main reason for launching this blog is to show you, the reader, the important breakthroughs about business and leadership that I made along the way. After years of struggling to find my way as a leader, I discovered some concepts that transformed my leadership – and the culture of our company.
My plan is to add new content to this blog a couple of times a week. My purpose is to influence leaders – and those who aspire to be leaders. I’ve been digging through my files and already have several ideas on what to share with you in the coming weeks. I hope you join me as we explore leadership, entrepreneurship and life!
