Want to understand leadership? Listen to Aly and his approach to leadership. Seriously listen or read what Aly says about how he addresses challenges, leads people, leads his business and now brand. What a great example of what "people first" means. Individuals can talk people first, offer training, provide listening sessions and those are valuable, but Aly's approach is refreshing take on "people first". One could stipulate restaurant and office leadership is different; I disagree. Everything takes people to succeed and how you treat them in private when no-one is looking and in public defines your approach to people. His brand is successful because of his steady hand, perseverance, and most importantly a "people first" approach. He understood what was important during any challenge at THAT TIME, while not losing sight of his vision and goal. Certainly not a one-person success story, his wife and family were a big part of that success. That is putting people first, whether your family, friends, or colleagues. He took the feedback to build a successful brand. Aly shared about his restaurant having a line of customers, credit card machine down and a leaky roof. Listen to how he handled that challenge. What a wonderful story and I am excited to try the meals!
