To all of our hard-working and dedicated #leaders inside #Automotive: Whether you provide Services and Goods to a Dealer, are a #Dealer or in #Management at any of these:
1) UNCERTAINTY+HONESTY
We know you aren't certain about how to handle this situation, the total financial impact and timelines.
Since you are NOT certain, please know that your people, who are equally if not more uncertain, need you to communicate more often, with greater clarity and with honesty. If you don't know- SAY you don't know. Their 'bs meter' is redlining.
You cannot afford to lose the trust of your people now or ever.
2) HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY
Many of you are saying:
"When we bounce back the rebound will be twice as strong."
Sounds great, right?
NO! THAT IS NOT A STRATEGY!
This is called Hoping + Waiting + Crossing Your Fingers!
Apologies for the strong emotion, but seriously?
You can and you MUST do better. (smh)
Call me/someone who will help you Navigate and Strategize.
'WE' get in a jam as we fail to develop stronger business plans, grow people to greater strength, capability and mental agility.
If you're waiting for the 'bounce', you might get bounced!
Get to work, take action and be honest with yourself and others.
