My Story @EdmontonPm – In 1982 I read Tom Peters “In Search of Excellence: Lessons from America’s Best-Run Companies” and since then I have been on my personal search for amazing companies.

In the early 1990’s my search led me to understand the power of servant leadership and the ability to realize the incredible potential  in the individuals on my teams.

In the meantime I watched so many new hires  in organizations go from engaged, positive, creative and productive to disenchanted, and frustrated as they acclimatized to the traditional corporate culture of their new organizations.

I watched as Managers and Boards took no notice of the people and the potential they had within their organizations; and I was disappointed by so many organizations that were not striving for excellence …. but rather leaving their potential and profit on the table.

I knew it could be done – BUT WHO WAS DOING IT???

In 2015 I learned of the  Popeyes Story and how THEY are Daring To Serve!!

Under Cheryl A. Bachelder’s  ( CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Inc. LinkedIn profile) “Dare to Serve!” Leadership she has reinvented Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen into one of America’s Best-Run Companies with:

1. A 30% increase in sales in their average restaurant
   
2. Average restaurant operating profit is up 40%
3. Their market share among “Chicken” restaurants is up 50%
4. Opened 450 + new restaurants including moving into the Canadian marketplace – All performing very well!
5. Their stock price has increased from ~$13.00 USD when Cheryl started the turn around  through the Dare to Serve Model to ~$60.00 USD today
6. And in the process they were daring to succeed, humble about their leadership path and creating Engaged Franchise Owners, Stakeholders, Shareholders, Managers Team Members, Crew & Guests to produce  “Top Notch Relationships” that led to  their great success.

In November of 2016 Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen opened their 1st  Franchise in Western Canada – In Edmonton – (my home town 🙂 ) with Calgary soon to follow!

To celebrate Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen’s opening in Edmonton: PDU Of The Day is proud to present  again this eye opening professional Development opportunity to help you understand how you can be Brave, Humble and Dare to Serve! in your organization

2015 Interview Becoming  a Dare to Serve Leader

Becoming a “Dare to Serve” Leader

Webinar Description

Our culture celebrates “The Spotlight Leader.” The leader is on stage – the spotlight is entirely on them – in short, it is all about them.

This leader declares a new vision, has all the answers, and is a high achiever.  We tolerate them being a bit self-absorbed because they are going places that we want to go, and if they are successful, we will be successful… so we think.

We vaguely know there is another kind of leadership – Servant leadership. This kind of leader is known for humility.

They shun the spotlight and listen carefully to the people because they care deeply about the people. They make decisions that serve the people well; they give others credit.

We wonder about these leaders ..
But We Shouldn’t!

Watch Cheryl Bachelder, CEO of Popeyes® Louisiana Kitchen, Inc., in these informative sessions on developing a better leadership strategy!

Cheryl wants to suggest a new idea – If you move yourself out of the spotlight and dare to serve others well, you will deliver superior performance results – and she’s got the experience to prove it!

Watch Cheryl as she talks to Becky Robinson about the ideas that have shaped her own leadership journey, and make up the basis of her groundbreaking book:

Dare to Serve:
How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others

A Must Read For Every Leader!
