Interview with Neil Ducoff of Strategies on No Compromise Leadership
In yesterday’s blog I introduced CEO and founder of Strategies, Neil Ducoff, and you got to hear his thoughts on Team Culture and the role systems and structure play in establishing a positive team-based work environment. In this follow-up interview, Neil expounds upon his theory of No Compromise Leadership.
As the leader of a salon, it’s easy to notice the issues and let them slide. You probably have a list of hard conversations stored in the back of your mind that you know should be addressed but are easier left untouched. Neil speaks to the danger letting problems sneak in and stay. Whether it’s a disgruntled employee or a misrepresentation of policies and procedures, Neil says, “It’s gotta get done – no compromise.” This mantra of “no compromise” was put into practice within Neil’s personal life and his business, Strategies, and soon became a no-excuse culture of consistency and productivity. Neil took this No Compromise Leadership idea and fleshed it out further in his book No-Compromise Leadership: A Higher Standard of Leadership Thinking and Behavior.
