Drawing from my experience as COO of Chicken Cone, I explore the power of consistency as the most underrated leadership trait. The real win isn't perfection or genius, but showing up steadily and building trust through reliable performance.

• Former COO of rapidly growing Chicken Cone restaurant chain with locations across America and Dubai
• Consistency is the key factor in franchising success—why McDonald's hamburgers taste the same everywhere
• Message #333 represents the power of steady commitment rather than flashy performance
• Consistency builds trust because people don't need surprises
• Small consistent actions compound over time to create unstoppable momentum
• Consistency beats talent when talented people don't consistently show up
• Challenge: identify where you need to stop waiting for motivation and just keep showing up

Would you share this hotline number with a few people and challenge them to call? I don't advertise this anywhere—it grows only by word of mouth. Keep instigating growth in all you do.

For a while I was the COO of Chicken Cone, a super fast-growing QSR, which stands for quick service restaurant, which is a fancy way of saying fast food restaurant. We started in Manhattan, new York. Our first few physical locations were in Pennsylvania and New York City. Our first franchise location was in Dubai. We grew rapidly and soon had locations all over America.

Winning Leadership Wednesday the power of consistency. That's right, Did you catch that Number 333. I wonder what repeating threes mean. Well, for today's message, message 333, triple threes it just feels like a good day to talk about one of the most underrated leadership traits. There is consistency, not perfection, not excitement, not even genius, just showing up steady, solid, aligned. Our chicken cone training team would teach consistency non-stop. I mean, we all know it. Why do people like McDonald's? Because a hamburger in California tastes the same as in Maine and people know that they can expect McDonald's to be open when they say they are open.

Or has this become consistency in your life Consistent?

It doesn't look impressive in the short term, but in the long term it's unstoppable. And consistency beats talent when talent doesn't show up.
