Lessons from Small Businesses
His role at UPS gave him the opportunity to interact with wonderful people. They included small business owners who worked hard to keep their businesses afloat.
“Nobody is more ‘all in’ than a small business owner.” – Rocky Romanella
According to him, nobody understands profit and loss the way small business owners do. They pay their staff and vendors first and what is left in the cash register is what they take home to their families. It is the ultimate “ALL IN “. It is from them that he learned the value of ownership, commitment and entrepreneurial spirit and the knowledge to thoughtfully lead an integration.
When he retired, he decided to give back to the business community. He partnered with former UPS colleagues and started 3Sixty Management Services, LLC. Their expertise in thought leadership, leadership development, and process improvement have helped many businesses.
He is also author of the book Tighten the Lug Nuts. He inspires people to go after their dreams no matter where they are in their life and career.

In This Episode we talk about how Leaders define and build their core company values. Companies with clearly defined values & purpose consistently outperform their competitors by as much as 10x. Today’s episode is focused on helping you define who you are.
“Effectiveness without values is a tool without a purpose.”
– Edward de Bono (1933 – ), Author and Inventor
Show highlights:
- Who you are?
- Defining your company values
- How to align your hiring with your values
“Without a strong set of values, the best leadership strategy can go awry. With a good value structure in place, the worst leadership approach can right itself and eventually lead to the desired outcome.” – Rocky Romanella

In This Episode we talk about how Leaders should pay close attention to these key behaviors:
• Be approachable. Part of how we communicate and act is how we garner people’s respect, trust, etc.
• Be adaptive to your environment. How you talk to a front-line employee is different than how you would communicate with a customer or board member. Your need to understand your audience and adapt to their needs. Whether individually or in a group setting, if people look confused ask for their feedback or confirmation that they understand.
• Be passionate. A leader needs the ability to inspire others. Great leaders all have self-confidence. This needs to come across in your communications if you are trying to motivate your teams.
• Be prepared to listen. At times the best form of communication is the ability to listen and react. A leader should always solicit feedback and most importantly do something with that feedback. A best practice is to meet with all of your front-line staff on a quarterly basis, share company information with them, listen to their thoughts and act upon any concerns.

Crucial Talks Episode 35: Legacy, Leadership, and Lug Nuts everyone plays roles. In this episode, I spoke about the role of leaders in instilling a sense of Legacy and the behaviors they need for this to happen. This concept is important because the roles people play, and behaviors people assign to those roles will guide what they do. Their role is important especially at the time when people are trying to make sense of the world around them and then decide what to do. We discussed vision, mission, goals and the leader’s role. We provide three key questions leaders can ask themselves: Who am I? What do I stand for? What won’t I compromise?
Independent business owners with a vision and an energy of positivity. They think about the world differently and it is why they are successful (maybe not beyond their wildest dreams, although when they get up in the morning they have energy and are ready to go with joy and a smile!)
So, after I (Jonathan Senior ) completed this project I knew others out there would gain from my Funky Thinkers. Upon giving them this name I wanted to showcase them for others to get what I got.
Why? Because they understand that an effective interview rather than shilling and huckstering, is about content, delivering value to the audience. They leave the shouting loudest contest to other people.
Funky Thinkers understand that telling is lecturing (like the kids coach bellowing to their charges that they have to go out and win) and totally uninteresting. They know how to show you who they are – why they are different and what happened to get them there. How they enjoy the journey and how you might too.
MaturePreneurial: Host Elaine Benoit features successful entrepreneurs who started businesses after 40, for this reason we asked them to share their success and failure and their advice to others on how best to start a new business .
