Many of us in the fleet orbit know Mike Pitcher, former CEO of LeasePlan, USA, and one of the most dynamic and charismatic leaders in the industry. You may know him for his early and enduring work in tackling the deadly problem of distracted driving. It’s still his passion — catch his video this week: Conversations Can Change Your Behavior.
We are all struggling to cope with the challenges of 2020 – we have seen nothing like this in our lifetime – so when we talked with Mike about writing a column centering on leadership, we knew it would be inspiring. It is that, and more.
In Leadership in a Virtual World, Mike first defines leadership: “Leadership is influence. If you are in a position to influence the thoughts, behaviors and/or attitudes of someone else, then you are in a leadership role.” Then he asks, “How will you influence those that you lead?” Start here: Be a positive force.
