Leadership Is Everything” —Randy Garn
I listened to an amazing podcast where my good friend, Rob Shallenberger, held a Q&A with Randy Garn. Randy is a very accomplished leader and an incredible human. His leadership style reflects in his personal life, family life, community support and influence, and also in business. Rob is the CEO of Becoming Your Best, an amazing organization. Rob served as an F-16 Fighter Pilot in the Airforce for 11 years. Rob also co-authored this book, The Transformation Challenge, with his father Steven Shallenberger. Rob and Randy shared some great insights on the subject of leadership, personal and professional development.
Here is how Randy concluded the podcast:
And it has been it’s been amazing, both for myself but other people keep referencing it in our office so all of the listeners I’d say you know the most important thing to do is to continue to work on yourself and continue to become the best individual, the best human, the best person that you can, and that way you can really reach out to others in a big way. And so I’m just that’s the one thing but I’m trying to do a lot better is to be the best you know leader that I can be and change as many lives but I possibly can before I go to the other side. And, so the other thing is one last thing – relating back to that story, is that a lot of people think you know in today’s society it’s like you know well I should deserve that or I should you know that’s something that I deserve. I should deserve to be the CEO or I should deserve to have lots of money. I will tell you, that you really don’t get what you deserve in life. You get what you work hard for and what you negotiate. So those are the two things – the two principles I live by: you don’t get what you deserve in life you get what you fight, scratch, beg and plead for and negotiate. That’s what you end up getting in life so that’s part of my last leadership tip for everyone.
