KEY TAKEAWAYS Culture from the heart is intrinsic and defines who you are. Excellence is measured by the excellence you help others achieve. Trust is the foundation for everything in business. Consistency breeds trust and open communication. Growth happens when you help others grow. Operational excellence enables fun and meaningful work. Leadership is about empowering, not managing, people. QUOTES “At the end of the day, our measure of excellence sits below and is dependent upon the excellence we help others achieve.” “If you have culture from the heart, it’s something that’s intrinsic. It’s who you are. It’s a definer.” “Everything begins with trust, and if you can earn somebody’s trust, everything else just really starts to fall in line.” “Everybody loves a good leader. Nobody wants to be managed.” “Growth is continuing to take on more challenges, learning more, and giving that back to others because I feel that I grow when others grow.” “When you pour into your people, when you connect at a heart level, they will run through brick walls.” Learn more about Darrell and Larry.
