Leadership in Action – AUNZ English – 201809

Our family’s arrival here in Australia has been very much a learning experience, and I fully anticipate that our learning will continue on for years to come. We are enjoying adapting to different phrases, names, sports, and ways of looking at life. Among the more subtle differences that we have identified is a tendency among Australians and New Zealanders to finish their sentences with an upward, or rising inflection of the voice, in situations where Americans might typically have a steady or downward inflection. While the reason for or meaning behind this vocal intonation may well be debated, I have chosen to draw my own conclusion: the people of Australia and New Zealand are inherently happy and optimistic in nature. In like manner, I have a very happy and optimistic outlook on the present and future state of Melaleuca in Australia and New Zealand, and I will share three reasons to support this opinion. First, and most importantly, Melaleuca offers a product portfolio which is unmatched in our market. With over 30 years of experience in combining the best of science and nature, we can all now benefit daily from using such a wide range of fantastic products. These products are not luxury items to be slowly consumed over a period of years, nor are they experimental in nature and intended for a targeted or fringe audience. Instead, Melaleuca produces highly consumable, healthy alternatives to products that are routinely used in virtually every home across the globe. It is thrilling to consider the thousands of customers here in Australia and New Zealand who have shopped at Melaleuca for many years in a row, and in numerous cases for over a decade. I take great confidence and reassurance in knowing that a highly skilled research and development team at Melaleuca will continue to produce an ever-improving line-up of products suitable to customers of all ages and life situations. Second, I can state with great confidence that Melaleuca is guided by the best management team a company could hope to have. Through my own personal experiences and time spent with the very accomplished and capable heads of Marketing, Sales, Legal, Finance, Operations, and R&D, I have come to know and trust the decision-making process used within the organization. It is reassuring to know that each functional unit in Melaleuca operates with the sole objective of enhancing lives through the creation and delivery of its great products all over the world. A Rising Inflection

Finally, as important as this leadership is to the internal functioning of Melaleuca, it is the vast and dedicated group of Marketing Executives that allows for Melaleuca to grow and thrive. We are so fortunate to have many hundreds of capable, educated, and motivated leaders representing Melaleuca across Australia and New Zealand. Just as thrilling as this opportunity to associate with such great brand ambassadors, however, is the realisation that we have only just begun to scratch the surface of what is possible here. I have no doubt that some of Melaleuca’s greatest advocates and leaders have yet to even be introduced to the company and our wonderful products. These are capable and motivated individuals just like yourselves who simply have not yet discovered what is possible through the Melaleuca product portfolio and compensation plan. I challenge you to find them and discover how their lives can be enhanced through a life-long association with Melaleuca. We live in such a great time and place. The combination of products, leadership, and incredible Marketing Executives offer us every reason to believe that we are witnessing a rising inflection point for Melaleuca throughout Australia, New Zealand, and countries around the world.
