Leadership฀Defined
It is said that leadership is the ability to guide or direct
others. We would add to that definition the ability to
inspire, enthuse, motivate and encourage – for starters.
The fact is, at Darden Restaurants leadership manifests
itself in hundreds of ways every day. Indeed, we consider
leadership excellence to be the essential strategic plank
of our business model. So, who better to define leader-
ship than some of the many leaders found in our family
of more than 141,000 employees? We wish we could
include them all, but this report contains the stories of
six individuals who we believe personify leadership at
its best. They should give you a good idea of how we
define leadership at Darden, as well as how leadership
creates value for all of our stakeholders – guests,
investors, employees, vendors and the community.
