Leadership is not a destination, but rather a relentless pursuit. Exceptional leaders recognize that the most profound journey is that of continuous learning. Leadership development, therefore, is not an event, but an ongoing process. Leaders should be spending time learning and growing every day.

This episode of The Leadership Toolkit was an amazing conversation with Mike Phillips and Melissa Hibdon. Melissa, is an automotive BDC expert, marketing, and advertising genius, and passionate advocate of leadership and learning. She brought her wealth of knowledge and front-line experience to The Leadership Toolkit!

Melissa shared many secrets behind her remarkable success in the automotive industry, where she has honed her leadership and management skills to amazing heights. From navigating the ever-changing landscape of BDC strategies to executing powerful marketing campaigns, Melissa’s down-to-earth view will revolutionize your approach to leadership and take your professional growth to new heights.

Does this information support who I am?

Melissa asks herself does this piece of information support who I am? Is it in alignment with my core values? And then she shares her core value statement with me:

  1. Lead from the heart
  2. Lead by example
  3. Have fun

In summary, Melissa reminds us, leaders are not defined by their titles or their past wins. The core of leadership is a profound commitment to learning and growth. The leaders that navigate the complex landscapes of business and leadership development are those who illustrate daily: Leaders are learners.
