Israeli combat Commander-turned-CEO is a TWO-time star on CBS Undercover Boss TV show, # 4 on Forbes list most promising CEOs under 35, and now # 1 on the Fast & Serious list of sustainable franchise rankings. Lessons learned from his grandparents fleeing Nazi Germany & his military service: The military “taught me the most of what I learned about leadership.” Chief lesson: “The military teaches you that people don’t do what they need to do. They do what they want to do,” and the lessons were seared in life-or-death battle. “People follow you blindly if they believe in the mission,” he says. To Amit, Menchie’s is much more than a sweet treat—people fall in love there, have heart-to-heart talks with their teenage children there, celebrate promotions there, he says. The stores are an integral part of the community. “We believe we dont sell frozen yogurt. We believe we make people smile,” Kleinberger says. The guy is a machine. I spent a day with Amit & his staff. You could set a Swiss watch by his schedule, which was NEVER a minute off in our set, but seemingly natural, agenda. The guy mailed me (snail mail) several specific & signed letters, include one which was HAND-WRITTEN ... as if he didnt have anything ELSE to do. I got an email late Monday afternoon that a Menchies store in my area was being sold by an investor who is liquidating. By the time I inquired on behalf of a client the first thing Tuesday, it was already sold. Cest la vie. Mobile, PCola, Alabama, & ATL / GA / SC folks: Know anybody who wants in on the next McDonalds wave of franchise ownership? This ones tripled growth in the past year, and NOT just in the U.S.A.! Nearly 1,000 units now, and going strong. Contact me for more information! :-)
