The SUCCESS & FAILURE of the Automotive Dealership is in the hands of the Dealership Manager. It is important for the top Automative "Commander" or boss to place or appoint his "Generals" in the right territory to divide, defend and conquer. The Dealership Manager holds 2 roles. A Leadership role and the Manager role. It's easy to find good Dealership Managers. It is more challenging to find a good leader "General". 👉A Manager keeps the dealership in operations by following and upholding the rules set by the top management. 👉A Leader (other than being a Manager) leads the team to "conquer more sales". 🌍 The Automotive Competitive Landscape... In the automotive environment today is ever more challenging, when there are many brands for the car buyer to choose from. Today, its the buyer's market. In the "good old" days, the car buyer either buy the usual suspects. A German marque or a Japanese marque and maybe a Korean marque. Today, you can barely keep up with what brands that are flooding the market. One must not just sell cars based on brands when there are so many options for the buyers to choose from. Something to ponder on how to win the potential buyer (I may write about it). 🔎How do you determine if the Dealership Manager is a failure or a good leader? 1. Does the sales team respect the Dealership Manager? Or do they respect the Manager's title only? 2. Are there many resignations from the dealership? 3. Is there teamwork amongst the sales team? The above are the few ways to determine if the Dealership Manager is doing his job and not "Sweet talking" the boss. 🍭I have seen a lot of sweet talkers in the auto industry. However, below are not the faults of the Dealership Manager. 1. Decisions beyond the Manager's position or scope. 2. The "heaven". Any decisions above his position and beyond his control. The Dealership Manager can only hope his "heavenly boss" will bless him with lots of moral support, and monetary rewards. PS. I hope you enjoy my musings. Be a good leader that takes care of your people and reward them and in return your people will honour you. 1. Do give my article a thumbs up 2. If you have any comments, you are welcome to write. 3. If we have not connected, you are welcome to connect. PS. I business advisory and consulting work. If you need my services do reach out to me. #automotiveleadership #automotivemanagement #automotivesales
