Hey Evolve!
Q1 is under way with our North America meeting in the books! Great week talking business, life, legacy and leadership – with a focus on leadership! Q1 in APAC next week then we’ll finish up the quarter with our EMEA meetings the first week of March. March already! That means Q1 will be almost done and we’ll be on to Q2! Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin…. I want to fly like an eagle!
We talked quite a bit about Leadership in the groups I lead. Here are my 4 recommendations for all leaders that I think should be true for not only you as owner of your company but also for each of the leaders on your leadership team.
-
- You should have a mentor. Someone outside the organization that can speak into their life.
- You should be a mentor. They should be sharing what they are learning with someone coming up behind you.
- You should have an industry peer – Evolve can fill that role.
- You should have an industry agnostic group you meet with. Learn and share about leadership challenges with people outside our industry.
Those 4 things are pretty common amongst the leaders I see building world class businesses in a functional, sustainable way. Time has a tendency to get away from us, so I’d encourage you to think about those top two and be deliberate about having and being a mentor. Don’t let another quarter slip away without investing in leadership.
GiANT Worldwide
This was our first quarter with GiANT and they were awesome on the North American Community Day. We are doing the same content in EMEA and APAC with geo specific experts for you on your respective Community Days. Many of you have already asked about the recordings and Mike has posted them for North America under the big blue link labelled "GiANT" on the HUB homepage. If you missed it, watch it. I can’t stress enough to get your next level leaders signed up and have them attend this content. We’re having them back in Q2 and Q3 and this is an awesome opportunity to invest in yourself and your next level people’s leadership skills. Plenty of relevant, practical tools and advice for becoming a leader people want to follow and then multiplying yourself in your organization.
S-LI Acquisition
I’m sure you’ve all heard by now we announced the acquisition of Service Leadership – couldn’t be more excited to be working more closely with Paul, Brian and their team going forward! For more details, check out our FAQ for Evolve Members.
CyberSecurity Partner Program
Also, we took a few minutes to explain to you a new CyberSecurity Partner Program opportunity to sell Security with ConnectWise. If you missed it, watch the recording and email Bob Gentzler if you’re interested in learning more.
I love being a part of this community that helps partners grow… help partners and leaders Fly Like an Eagle. Thanks for being a part of Evolve!
Stay Healthy and Lead Strong!
