Sales and Marketing Leaders: Destined to Be Great with 1 Key Trait
There is an interesting story about Jean-Claude Biver, who runs Hublot watches. As a young man he went for an interview at Omega, and the interview was set for five o’clock in the morning. After it was over, Biver asked, "Why an interview at five in the morning? The interviewer replied, ‘Because I’m three hours ahead of everyone, I’m working while you sleep."
Like many high performers there is a common thread that binds them together which can really accelerate team performance – positive work ethic.
Leaders with strong work ethic are destined to be great, this one key trait has enormous capabilities for performance effectiveness whereby it rubs off on fellow colleagues and consequently becomes ingrained within positive organisational cultures.
The best leaders in the world know this and leverage this key trait to achieve their desired success. The most successful manager in the history of British football, winning 49 trophies in 39 years, Sir Alex Ferguson applied this routinely.
Through his leadership at Manchester United FC, he demonstrated this by setting exacting standards in building training intensity, concentration, and consistency both on the field and off the field.
The simple act of Alex Ferguson consistently being the first into work at 6.45am daily had a magnetic effect whereby the rest of his staff started to come in to work at the same time as him – high performers working coordinated and as a team to achieve their common mission.
