William Shakespeare famously said, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” You may or may not know the name Christian Alfaro. If not, let me introduce you to him. He is someone who has had greatness thrust upon them.
Christian manages the Southern California-based Toppers Pizza Place. A video of Christian recently went viral. As you will see in the video above, he was simply going about his daily responsibilities and became an internet sensation.
I love the video shown above. It is 15 seconds of pure leadership gold! The following are 10 Things Great Leaders Do we learn from Christian’s actions:
- Great Leaders Build Great Teams – Christian had his team around him during this video.
- Great Leaders Are Present – Christian was not absent. He was literally in the middle of action.
- Great Leaders Are Decisive – Great leaders are not passive.
- Great Leaders Make Things Happen – This is the top trait you should look for when finding potential leaders.
- Great Leaders Remain Cool Under Pressure – Christian said, “Just another busy day at Toppers Pizza Place.”
- Great Leaders Provide Solutions – He also added that his actions “avoided a cleanup”.
- Great Leaders Are All About Others – The reason Christian was walking through the area was to get a fork for a customer. For more on this topic read 10 Signs Your Leadership Is All About You And Not Others.
- Great Leaders Continually Focus On What Is Ahead – Yesterday ended last night. As mentioned by Coach Hines just gets right back to work.
- Great Leaders Take Their Organizations To Higher Levels – Seriously, how many of you had heard of Toppers Pizza prior to this video being released?
- Great Leaders Remind Us To Celebrate Basic Acts Of Service
