Three key takeaways:
🔹 Character is the Foundation of Leadership: As Andy put it, "You’ll never be a better leader than you are a person." Integrity, humility, and authenticity aren’t just nice-to-haves; they’re essential for earning trust and keeping teams engaged.
🔹 The Four Leadership Necessities: Andy shared his framework—Conviction, Competence, Character, and Covenant. Leaders who build on these pillars foster strong cultures, retain top talent, and attract new team members eager to contribute.
🔹 Retention Is Everyone’s Job: Leadership isn’t just about managing tasks. It’s about championing your team, removing roadblocks, and demonstrating that people matter. This pays back in loyalty and performance, especially in today’s competitive job market.
