The 21st and 22nd of February this year marked the first OSP Emerging Leaders Conference in 2015. Along with having the top Sales Representatives and Administrators from the company present, the main speaker who hosted the conference was our very own Vice President of Sales; Carlos Linares.
While describing OSP's future plans for the company, Carlos taught us what it truly means to be a leader and an entrepreneur. With the expansion One Source Provider is experiencing, spending a weekend discussing how to develop the people around us as well as ourselves was quite significant. In fact, one of the greatest things taken away from the weekend was the simple fact that being a true leader and business owner means learning to look past yourself.
Here we realize that expanding a business is more than just a numbers game, it is about working smart to develop the right people, so that the trend continues. Most businesses can train their people to do the job great, but lack the relationships that need to be built that makes them last a lifetime. We focus most of our time building relationships with our people and developing them into higher roles within the company, therefore, creating a rock hard foundation to expand our business upon. The real secret to finding success is the realization that it is a journey, not a destination.
With everything we learned and took away from this weekend, it is evident that these conferences will become more frequent and only better with time. Being able to learn from such a dedicated member of our team as well from each other has only strengthened the relationship between all of our offices. Learning and growing with each other, while also being able to have fun and enjoy amenities provided by OSP, had us leaving with a lot to take back to our offices, including some new relationships.
Until next time, remember that what a successful person does daily, is what an unsuccessful person only does occasionally.
