Thanks Jeff Seifried for the excellent tour of Mother's Brewing Company! We really appreciated your time and willingness to answer our many, many questions. Especially since you were also hosting the MISSOURI CRAFT BREWERS GUILD conference! A couple of my students confessed that knowing we would be visiting Mother's was the big reason they signed up for the #ManagementInAction class. And they were not disappointed!

If you are in a leadership role and have the great pleasure of mentoring people, you never know what words will resonate in your conversations. You tend to think it's the longer suggestions you give them after listening to their challenge(s). But a lot of the time it's the seemingly small things said that resonate the most. #beaforcedontforce #sales #consultiveselling

Celebrating Success - We all know it is one of the crucial things to do in every company. - 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Celebrating success boosts employee morale and motivation. It encourages them to give their best efforts, which can lead to increased job satisfaction and lower turnover. - 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬: Recognizing and celebrating success reinforces the company's values and behaviours. - 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Recognizing and celebrating achievements can encourage employees to think creatively and take calculated risks. When they see their ideas and initiatives lead to success, they are more likely to propose innovative solutions to challenges. - 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Engaged employees are more committed to their work and the organization's success. Celebrating success is a powerful tool for engaging employees by making them feel like a vital part of the company's journey. - 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Celebrations create a positive and enjoyable company culture. Employees are more likely to look forward to coming to work when they know that their efforts will be recognized and celebrated. Which is why I am excited to help with the organisational part of our Celebrating Success activity every 3 months. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬!

Having not too long ago married into a family rooted in Alabama and Tennessee, I have become accustomed to having Milo’s #tea at every family occasion (and I appreciate that they buy jugs of the unsweet version in addition to the sweet they all love). So I particularly enjoyed the lunchtime speaker at #BevTech today, Tricia Wallwork, CEO of Milo's Tea Company, Inc., who talked about what drives the company forward. It was never really the intent for Milo’s to be a #beverage company. Through the generations, this family-owned company has been driven by economic prosperity not only for themselves but also for the communities that they’re part of. It began with Tricia’s grandfather, Milo, who—after returning home from World War II, where he was an army cook—opened a restaurant selling burgers and fries in Birmingham, Ala. Tricia’s parents started franchising the restaurant in the 1980s. When her dad was looking to retire and sell the restaurants, the buyer didn’t want the tea, so he kept that. Along the way, Wallwork traded in her high heels for some steel-toed boots, dropping her law career to take over the family business. Manufacturing space grew from about 3 acres to over 100 in 2020 at a new greenfield facility in Tulsa, Okla., then expanded further to a brownfield dairy facility to make #lemonade, and now is building another facility in Spartanburg, S.C. Today, Milo’s is in all 50 states, at more than 50,000 retail locations across the country—doing just as well in Whole Foods as it does in Walmart. Regardless of how it grows, it’s still very much about communities, according to Wallwork, who talks about building institutions that make a positive impact in the world. “Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a Pollyanna thing. We are a culture of very high accountability, high results, and high trust,” Wallwork says. “But we know that we are also there to help one another—whether that’s our external partners, our associates, or anyone that is in our ecosystem.” ISBT - International Society of Beverage Technologists ProFood World
