What Is Leadership?

February 28, 2023
There are many definitions of leadership but Seth Godin summed it up in one sentence. “Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.” --Seth Godin 

You may already know that Ajax is committed to providing leadership and career advancement training for its employees. We are continuing to provide opportunities for success throughout the organization, celebrating our large and small victories. 

Our Peak Performance Leadership Training started in 2022 with 5 employees in different levels/areas of the organization. We are proud to announce that our 2nd leadership class began training in Jan 2023. The second class includes: 

Matt Desotell: Area 2 Manager

Jessica Kiesel: Area 1 Project Manager

Elliott Kresse: Area 4 Project Manager

Matt Ohely: Area 3 Construction Manager

Robby Popielarz: Area 1 Paving Foreman

Curt Selbak: Area 4 Construction Manager

Chris Stewart: Area 1 Project Superintendent

In the upcoming Leader’s Look newsletters, we will hear from the class about their individual perspectives on leadership. Leaders are found throughout all areas of our company. Leaders show the way, and set the example for others to follow. Most importantly, leaders genuinely care for others and look to develop future leaders. 

Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.” -Seth Godin

Ray Croc said, "The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.” The A-Team continually strives to maintain or exceed high standards for our employees, customers, and partners. It begins with each and every one of us. Thank you for all you do to help us continue to meet our goals. 

Stay tuned for more leadership insights from a few of our company leaders in the coming months.
