There is a lot of conversation still taking place about the Super Bowl commercials. Some were funny, some were moving, some had important messages, and others were, well, not so great. One of my favorites was the Dodge Wisdom Commercial, “You Learn A Lot in 100 Years.” To introduce the 2015 Challenger model and celebrate the 100th anniversary of Dodge, the ad shows numerous centenarians sharing life wisdom.
You know I love quotes, so hear are my favorites from the ad…with some leadership-based commentary as food for thought.
Life is good. You make it good. -Dorothy Titleman
Imagine telling your team members that they make your life good. What a great appreciation statement! Who makes your work life good? Tell them today!
Keep your eyes open and, sometimes, your mouth shut. -Dorothy Titleman
Leaders must be observant at all times. Keep your eyes open. And, we usually learn more by listening than by speaking so, sometimes, we need to stop talking!
Put the pedal to the metal. -Lenny Bluett
Whether you’re driving a car or leading a team, who wants to stay still? Keep moving, keep pushing boundaries, keep being a “challenger.”
If you didn’t see the ad, here it is. What’s your favorite #DodgeWisdom quote?
