""Leadership is self improvement," Adamolekun said. "Understand yourself and what your strengths are and where you can be better. Because the stronger you are as a person, the more people are going to want to follow you.""
""So if you want to be a better leader, become a better person," he continued."
""My life is my work. My work is my life,""
Damola Adamolekun emphasizes leadership as self-improvement, urging understanding of strengths and areas for improvement to attract followers. He became Red Lobster CEO in August 2024 after the chain experienced bankruptcy, numerous closures, and large losses related to an Endless Shrimp promotion that he rejects returning because he knows how to do math. Adamolekun previously led P.F. Chang's through a major turnaround after its 2019 buyout, focusing on store remodels, menu and technology upgrades, and tighter operations that raised sales and profitability. He applies the same playbook to pursue what he calls a major industry comeback.
