Kelly Roddy of WOWorks on self accountability: not I hold you accountable, but I do my job so you can do yours, checked weekly with a commitment said out loud.
Kelly Roddy, CEO of WOWorks, on self accountability, and why he refuses to frame it as something a leader does to somebody else.
WOWorks is the parent company of six better for you restaurant brands, including Saladworks, Frutta Bowls, Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh, The Simple Greek, Barberitos, and Z!Eats. Kelly previously doubled average unit sales as president of Schlotzsky's.
In this conversation with Stephen Sakach and Mike Liwski:
• I have to do my job so that you can do your job better
• Why the check-in has to be weekly, never monthly
• Big rocks, and stating your commitment on the call
• Nobody wants to be the person who did not move theirs
• Sharing where a franchisee sits against the average and best in class
He is clear that the point is not pressure, because a team holding itself to a high standard outperforms any version of that standard imposed from above.
