In natural disasters, leadership is especially important. Getting the electricity turned on, getting the stores re-stocked, and getting people back to work. That takes leadership. One recurring success story is the ability of Waffle House to be up and running as soon as possible, to feed people who are hungry, and to restore a sense of normalcy to a situation that is decidedly not normal. That's leadership.
The CEO of all Waffle House is IN Wilmington. All 5 are open and he has been personally serving 1st responders & thousands of customers. That is how leadership works! Can your boss do your job and would he/she be willing to do it? Let's all eat there soon!They've brought in generators to restore service to the stores, they've gotten the people back to work, and they're serving customers and first responders who might not have a hot meal available. Trust me when I say that in a natural disaster, when the power is out and you're working to help people who desperately need help, it's comforting to know that a hot meal is available. That Waffle House is able to get up-and-running so quickly is a testament to the quality of the leadership of the organization.

FEMA and the Waffle House Index. First heard of this and the Waffle House when we moved to NC. http://www.wlox.com/story/22474627/waffle-house-a-harbinger-of-storm-recovery/
Good for them! Stories of heartless money-grubbing companies doing good stuff choke me up.
I've eaten at Waffle House once while traveling. The waitress was a hoot and made my youngster a paper hat. They seem like good people. My only complaint: I didn't get my own paper hat.
People look to leaders to guide them in their actions. Good leaders are role models for the people they lead, motivating them, supporting them and facilitating communications among them.
