Refreshing to see a business that appears to understand the importance of "investing" in your key stakeholders - your employees! Customer-centricity starts with team members who understand what this means and are trained to deliver towards this. Sort of, "duh!" Right?
This fast food chain has a fanatical devotion to speed and accuracy. But what is truly intriguing about Pal’s is its intelligent approach to employee training. hbr.org/2016/01/how-one-fast…

🥳 We're celebrating our Executive MBA class of December 2021 today! 🥳

Not true, @realDonaldTrump. I wrote to you more than 600 days ago demanding answers after you fired the entire White House pandemic team.
Nostalgia, yes ... filled with peaceful contentment in the here and now! It's incredible the journey that life holds for us and how our story (aka memory) percieves it as we move through it. Fortunately, the low parts flatten out over time! And the good, gets better!

Clay was an inspiration - while his insights into disruptive innovation defined his professional life, his beliefs in the value we, as individuals, can have in the world and how we define ourselves will define him as the humanitarian and true thought leader of our era! Thx Clay
Clayton Christensen changed the way we think about the world, and he did it with a style & grace that was his enduring trademark. He enobled us all by his modesty and intellect.
