Accelerent—Phoenix

Lessons Learned from Michael

For transformation to take place, two things must happen:

  1. Changing the mind of the individual
  2. Changing the culture of the organization

Michael also recommended: “Once in your life, you should reinvent yourself, becoming something you aren’t today.”

Another theme was creativity. Michael said, “Whatever you sell is…boring—UNLESS you can make it remarkable for the customer.” It’s the show, your creativity, and your performance that make a difference in the marketplace.

From his book, Becoming Uncommon!, he explained four common denominators of uncommon leadership

  1. Vision
  2. Communication
  3. Expectation
  4. Celebration
