Success comes from focusing on outcomes, maintaining a positive mindset, and taking personal responsibility for daily progress.

That’s the takeaway from this conversation hosted by Chris Messer, EVP of the transportation group at EndeavorB2B—The Fleet Lead’s parent company. He’s joined by Mike Jones, president and master trainer at Discover Leadership Training, and Randy O’Connor, owner/principal of Dealer to Dealer Development Group, serving the auto and tire service industry.

Leadership is about engaging others in a shared vision and personal accountability—not just giving orders.

Messer and Jones host regular episodes of their leadership-oriented podcast series, Endeavor to Discover, across EndeavorB2B's transportation brands, including Modern Tire Dealer, National Oil and Lube News, and more.
