Michael A. Griffin Encourages Young Professionals to Learn Every Role Before Seeking Leadership
-
Raleigh business leader Michael A. Griffin says the best leaders are built through experience, not titles, and encourages young professionals to focus on learning before leading.
RALEIGH, N.C. Jun 18, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Michael A. Griffin, CEO and Chairman of National Business Center, Inc., is encouraging young professionals to resist the pressure to rush into leadership positions and instead focus on understanding the work, the people, and the processes that make organizations successful.
Griffin’s message comes from personal experience. Before becoming a CEO, he spent years working in customer service and learning different aspects of business operations. He believes those experiences provided lessons that continue to shape his leadership approach today.
“Everybody wants the title,” Griffin said. “Not everybody wants to learn what the people doing the work deal with every day. That’s where the real education happens.”
According to a recent Gallup workplace report, managers account for as much as 70% of the variation in employee engagement. Despite that impact, many professionals enter leadership roles without first gaining experience across different functions within an organization.
Griffin believes that creates challenges for both leaders and teams.
“When I first started, I paid attention to how customers reacted, how employees solved problems, and where processes broke down,” he said. “Those observations taught me more about leadership than any management title could have.”
Research from the Center for Creative Leadership has found that experience-based learning is one of the most significant drivers of leadership development. Exposure to different responsibilities helps future leaders understand how decisions affect employees, customers, and operations.
For Griffin, some of the most valuable lessons came from working closest to customers.
“I remember seeing situations where a policy looked good on paper but created confusion in practice,” he said. “If you’ve never been the person dealing directly with that confusion, it’s easy to make decisions that create more problems.”
He believes young professionals should actively seek opportunities to learn beyond the boundaries of their current role.
That could mean spending time with different departments, volunteering for new projects, observing experienced colleagues, or simply asking more questions.
“The people who grow the fastest are usually the people who stay curious,” Griffin said. “They want to understand how everything connects.”
Griffin also draws leadership lessons from his background in baseball and football. Growing up in Eastern North Carolina, he learned that successful teams depend on every player understanding their role and how it contributes to the larger goal.
“In sports, you learn pretty quickly that one person can’t do everything,” he said. “You also learn that every position matters. Business works the same way.”
He believes those lessons are particularly important in an era where career advancement often feels accelerated.
Social media and professional networking platforms can create the impression that leadership is something people achieve quickly. Griffin argues that the strongest leaders are often the ones who spend years building knowledge and credibility before taking on greater responsibility.
“People see the promotion,” he said. “They don’t always see the years of learning that came before it.”
His advice to young professionals is straightforward: focus less on managing people and more on understanding how the work gets done.
“Learn the customer side. Learn the operational side. Learn where problems start and how they get solved,” Griffin said. “The more perspectives you understand, the better decisions you’ll make later.”
He believes that leadership is ultimately about serving others and helping teams perform at their best. That becomes easier when leaders understand the challenges their employees face.
“When people know you’ve done the work or taken the time to understand it, trust comes faster,” he said. “Trust is one of the most important things a leader can earn.”
As organizations continue to navigate change and workforce development challenges, Griffin hopes more young professionals will view learning as an investment rather than a delay.
“Leadership isn’t a destination,” he said. “It’s the result of experiences, lessons, mistakes, and growth. The more you learn before you lead, the better prepared you’ll be when the opportunity comes.”

Berlin, Germany, August 26th, 2026, Chainwire
TronBid expands its two-sided TRON resource marketplace, giving users new ways to rent Energy, trade Energy and Bandwidth, and reduce USDT fees for TRC-20 transactions.
TronBid, a peer-to-peer marketplace for TRON network resources, has expanded its platform with new tools for users looking to rent TRON Energy, manage transaction costs and access network resources without maintaining large amounts of staked TRX.
The platform now operates as a two-sided marketplace where both buyers and sellers can create orders for TRON Energy and Bandwidth.
Understanding TRON Energy Usage
TRON uses Energy and Bandwidth as its primary network resources. Energy is required for smart-contract computation, including USDT TRC-20 transfers.
When a wallet does not have sufficient Energy, TRX may be consumed to cover the resources required by the transaction. This has created demand for users and businesses to rent Energy instead.
By receiving temporary Energy delegated from another account, users can perform eligible TRON transactions without maintaining enough staked TRX for their maximum resource requirements.
For businesses processing frequent TRC-20 transactions, choosing to rent TRON Energy can therefore provide another way to manage network costs and reduce USDT fees.
A Two-Sided Marketplace for Energy
Unlike platforms where rental conditions are determined entirely by the provider, TronBid allows both sides of the market to create orders.
Buyers can create BUY orders specifying the amount of Energy required, rental duration and price they are willing to pay.
Sellers can create SELL offers with their own amount, price and rental period. Buyers can purchase all or part of these offers directly.
For example, if a seller offers 600,000 Energy, one buyer can rent 350,000 Energy, leaving the remaining amount available for other buyers.
Creating a SELL offer does not reserve the seller’s Energy. If resources become unavailable because they are being used elsewhere, recurring offers can automatically pause and become active again when sufficient Energy returns.
This allows sellers to participate in the TronBid marketplace while continuing to manage their resources elsewhere.
Rent Energy Without Waiting for the Marketplace
For users who need resources immediately, TronBid also provides Quick Rent with predefined Energy packages and short rental periods.
Energy can be delivered directly to any specified TRON address, even when payment is made from another wallet.
TronBid has also introduced Flash Recharge, an alternative designed for wallets that already maintain their own Energy capacity but need to manage consumed resources.
Energy and Bandwidth Trading
TronBid’s marketplace supports both Energy and Bandwidth, allowing holders of staked TRX to monetize the network resources their stake generates.
This creates two sides of the ecosystem: users who need to rent TRON Energy or Bandwidth and resource owners looking to make unused capacity available to the market.
By allowing both buyers and sellers to determine their own terms, TronBid aims to create more transparent price discovery based on actual supply and demand.
B2B API to Reduce USDT Fees at Scale
TronBid also provides a B2B Quick Rent API for exchanges, payment processors, wallets, OTC services and other businesses processing frequent TRON transactions.
Businesses can maintain a prepaid balance and automatically request Energy for specified TRON addresses before executing transactions.
Instead of manually renting resources for every transfer, companies can integrate Energy rental directly into their transaction infrastructure.
For businesses handling large numbers of USDT TRC-20 transfers, this can make it easier to rent Energy automatically and manage the network-resource component of transaction costs.
TronBid Becomes a TRON SR Partner
Alongside the expansion of its marketplace, TronBid has become a TRON Super Representative Partner, adding the project to TRON’s delegated proof-of-stake governance ecosystem.
The development strengthens TronBid’s connection with the underlying TRON ecosystem while the platform continues building infrastructure around Energy and Bandwidth.
About TronBid
TronBid is a peer-to-peer marketplace for TRON Energy and Bandwidth. Buyers can rent TRON Energy, create BUY orders or purchase existing seller offers, while resource owners can create SELL offers with their own prices and rental periods.
The platform also provides Quick Rent, Flash Recharge and a B2B API for businesses looking to automate Energy rental and reduce USDT fees for TRC-20 transactions.

ZFCHUNT Launches ZFC-X LiFePO4 Residential Battery Series, Cutting Solar Installer Labor by 15 percent
The plug-and-play home solar battery storage system minimizes SOC discrepancies, helping contractors streamline setups in a market projected to reach $36 billion.
China, 26th Aug 2026 – ZFCHUNT, the global brand of Shenzhen Kangkedi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., today launched the ZFC-X Series, a new line of residential energy storage solutions. Engineered with durable LiFePO4 battery cells, the system reduces on-site installation labor by 15 percent and cuts State of Charge (SOC) estimation errors to under 2 percent.
The hardware arrives as Europe tightens building energy codes and U.S. contractors race to claim Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives—both markets where every hour of on-site labor critically impacts project margins.
Key Facts & Technical Specifications
- Installation Efficiency: Auto-detect CAN/RS485 protocols ensure instant compatibility with major hybrid inverters (SolarEdge, Huawei SUN2000, GoodWe), reducing setup time by up to 15 percent.
- Durability: Features a 6,000-cycle rating, supporting up to 16 years of typical residential use backed by rigorous cell-screening protocols.
- Safety Standard: Advanced thermal management minimizes thermal runaway risks during peak load operations.
- Global Compliance: Fully certified under UL, FCC, CE, RoHS, and PSE standards, maintaining complete UN38.3 logistics documentation.
Core Technology and BMS Innovations
ZFCHUNT engineers its industrial-grade cell technology to minimize discrepancies between BMS software readings and real-world backup capacity. The core battery pack enclosure utilizes active cell-balancing and proprietary algorithms. This ensures that displayed SOC levels correspond more accurately to actual backup duration, reducing the risk of unexpected outages and extending overall cell life.
Streamlined Commercial Portfolio
While the ZFC-X Series focuses on the home energy storage market, ZFCHUNT’s 2,000-square-meter automated facility scales production for broader B2B needs. The company’s unified manufacturing pipeline supplies industrial lithium battery packs for continuous heavy-duty discharge, alongside consumer-grade lithium-ion batteries and OEM battery modules tailored for IoT devices, light green transportation, and telecommunications.
Global Supply Chain and Field Validation
Targeting global distributors and ODM clients, the factory accommodates a standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 500 units. Delivery cycles range from 15 to 30 days, with custom samples dispatched within seven days. In recent field trials with European and U.S. installers, the standardized modules proved highly adaptable to diverse grid acceptance standards. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainable partnerships, ZFCHUNT provides detailed installation manuals, remote technical guidance, and a comprehensive three-year material warranty.
Management Quotes
“Most installers spend over three hours per system on inverter handshaking. We have reduced that to five minutes with CAN/RS485 auto-detection,” said Tan Chungen, Technical Manager at ZFCHUNT. “We cut installer labor costs by 15 percent—not just by making cost-effective hardware, but by making smarter systems. For North American and European contractors, where labor is the biggest project variable, that plug-and-play integration is a direct margin protector.”
Industry Background and Future Plans
Driven by global grid decentralization, the residential solar battery storage market is projected to reach $36.2 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. To maintain its technical edge, ZFCHUNT has completed A-sample prototype validation for its next-generation OEM semi-solid-state battery technology, achieving 350 Wh/kg and targeting commercial availability in early 2027. The company is also evaluating localized warehousing in Frankfurt, Germany, to provide faster component replacement services to European partners.
