3. Where do your ideas come from -
how do you get inspired? 5. What do you consider to be your
greatest success to date?
My ideas come from everyday life. My
mind is constantly thinking about what’s
next, what I can create and what can
be achieved. Of course my family comes number one
in every aspect of my life. My greatest
joy comes from watching them grow up
into happy, balanced individuals who
have the correct values that will hold
them throughout their lives.
I travel a great deal, and think it’s critical
to have an international perspective on
one’s thinking.
On a business level, it’s my people:
watching my staff and managers grow,
and become successful. I’ve employed
many tens of thousands of young
people, and to watch some of them go
on to greater things in life and grow
as individuals gives me the greatest
satisfaction.
4. You juggle so many projects
and teams - can you share a time
management tip to ensure you stay on
top of it all?
It’s very simple. I focus on things that
matter. The rest is left to my fantastic
management team.
6. What’s next on the horizon for the
Lucas Group?
I don't micro-manage; I spend all of my
time thinking, and dealing with strategic
decisions that make a huge difference
to my business.
We will continue to grow our business,
and create beautiful, world-class
“destination” restaurants that excite
and stimulate.
I see a very bright future, wh ere
our restaurants continue to evolve
across the country – and perhaps
internationally!
