Leadership involves a combination of love and frustration, according to Brooks Running CEO Dan Sheridan. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a winning attitude, which has contributed to nearly 20% growth in his company's revenue. Sheridan warns aspiring Gen Z leaders that the CEO role is not always glamorous and comes with significant pressures, particularly as Brooks is part of billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Despite the challenges, optimism is key to effective leadership, ensuring that employees and customers will follow a leader who embodies a positive mindset.
Brooks isn't perfect-no organization is. We've got our warts and bruises and things like that.... 80% of the time I love what I'm doing.
You have to be optimistic. You have to have a winning attitude. Otherwise, no one's going to follow you.
