J.J. Sorrenti, CEO of Best Life Brands, talks about leading an organization, the beauty of franchising, and his quest to make healthcare convenient.
GF: What does success look like to you?
JJ: I have tried to help my teams understand that significance is more important than success. When you are successful, you achieve goals, and they’re fun and memorable moments, but they are just that: moments. When you are significant, you leave behind a legacy that endures long after you’ve moved on from whatever you are doing. And that’s the measurable impact we want to leave behind.
GF: What are the vital components behind a well-run organization?
JJ: My teams have always aimed for open communication, collaboration, urgency and the ability to challenge or ask questions while decisions are being made. Once that decision is made, we all have to embrace it as if it were our own. The only way that can happen well is to be transparent, communicative, and goal-oriented, and to keep the customer and franchisee at the forefront of every decision we make.
