5 ABR. 2024 · On this week's podcast, we are joined by Monica Rothgery, Author of "Lessons from the Drive Thru" Monica shares her experience from being a frontline fast food manager at Taco Bell, all the way up to being the COO of KFC, and the leadership lessons she has learned along the way.

Thirty years ago, Monica was a Restaurant General Manager for a Taco Bell outside of Chicago where she struggled to understand the essence of leadership. It was a constant uphill climb. Frustrated, she couldn’t understand how to make her team care about customers, or even want to show up for work. Turnover was high and morale was low. She missed sales goals, turnover targets and of course, profit. One very late night, after a particularly challenging day, she sat on the floor of her dining room. As the tears of frustration fell, she made a vow: “IF I ever get promoted out of the restaurant, I will spend my life trying to make life easier for managers.”Monica did get promoted and over time discovered the secrets to achieving great results and building great teams. Along the way she studied human behavior, organizational effectiveness, instructional design and business strategy. She analyzed great front-line leader behaviors to find common threads. She discovered the essentials to becoming a great business leader and achieving results: how to…· Embrace who you are at work· Make your mark on the lives of others· Figure out what is yours to do· Become the leader that no one ever leaves.Monica went from running one restaurant to leading 4000 restaurants as the COO of KFC in the United States. Today, Monica continues her passion to empower frontline leaders through keynotes, coaching and workshops.
About Monica's Book:
Lessons from the Drive-Thru: Real life Wisdom for Frontline Leaders
Leading a team is hard. There is immense pressure to deliver results while leading a team of unique, diverse individuals. As a Taco Bell manager, Monica tried muscling her way through, working extremely hard, only to produce mediocre results. Over time, she learned that her job was not to run the business but to lead the team. Once leadership became the focus, turnover decreased, the customer experience improved, and the business grew.In Lessons from the Drive-Thru: Real Life Wisdom for Frontline Leaders, Monica uses stories from behind the counter to illustrate the power of true servant leadership. Both new and experienced leaders will learn how to:
- Shift the focus from “me” to “we” and watch the team thrive while the business grows.
- Discover the power of using uniqueness to lead with ease, authenticity, and vulnerability.
- Realize the potential to impact the lives of those of team members.
- Anticipate the unexpected and persevere with grace.

I am an energetic and inspiring professional with over 25 years of sales, sales training and leadership experience. My tenacious leadership and training skills are complemented with an eternal optimism.
I knew early on I was driven to help people identify their value. I started out in sales and grew to be a General Sales Manager/Managing Business partner. Early in my career I learned it is critical to invest in my people through training. Throughout my training process, I learned, the only way to gain respect from others was through my example. As a result of this we gained mutual respect. Collectively throughout my career I successfully closed over $100 million in vehicle sales, over 20,000 transactions and led over 2000 team members to success with my eternal optimism.
The thing I enjoy the most is connecting with businesses and their sales teams by leading workshops where we help them identify poor mindsets, bad behaviors, bad beliefs and bad sales habits that keep them from hitting their goals and beyond. Success and growth depends on leadership. I believe it's important to have superior leadership in order to have superior sales teams. In order to create this environment, I will focus and work with Sales Managers to grow with their staff and be aligned with the same goals in mind.
I enjoy mentoring individuals to find positivity through struggles or negative situations with key principles through experience.
My goal after working with the business is to develop enthusiastic advocates and increase sales, profits and the environment.
