Today’s guest is Bill Rhodes, the CEO and Executive Chairman of AutoZone.

Get this: AutoZone is one of the only companies around who has grown both their earnings per share AND their revenue EVERY year for the past TWENTY years.

That kind of consistency is just remarkable.

But you won’t hear Bill take the credit for it. For him, it is all about his team and what they can do together. 

He’s got this deep and genuine admiration for his people, whom he calls AutoZoners. That respect drives how he makes decisions, implements, finds and trains talent, and more.

When we truly respect those we lead, we see leadership for the privilege it really is. It’s the secret to getting big things done – and to getting the kind of growth we all want to have.
