Leadership Examples
Weak vs. Strong Leadership
Weak Leadership Example
"Just make sure we have a good shift."
This message is too general. The team does not know what the priority is, what standard matters today, or what success looks like.
Strong Leadership Example
"Tonight our focus is guest acknowledgment. Even if we are busy, every guest should feel seen within the first moments. If you cannot assist immediately, acknowledge them and let them know we will be right with them."
This gives the team a clear standard, practical behavior, and guest-focused purpose.
KHEPERA Principle
"Leadership is not only the title you carry. Leadership is the standard you create."
