I'm allowed to have my goals for my customers, my colleagues, my industry.
So here goes on a Thursday night.
I want to see 35% of all Leadership seats in Automotive and Automotive Adjacent businesses by 2025.
Not simply 35% Females in seats.
👉 35% of Leadership as Females.
💲 35% of Payroll in the hands of Females.
Leadership + Pay
= Influence and Decision Making Abilities.
This is one way Automotive Retail can strategically survive threats facing them currently from multiple fronts. These pressures will only increase, making this the best time to take a closer look at the current situation and what we will be operating against soon.
These are my thoughts:
✔ Business: This would benefit the profitability of the business as new ideas, insights and processes would be injected into an industry suffering from malaise.
✔ People: This would benefit the employees in our industry who still routinely give low marks to the environments and ongoing opportunities in our businesses.
✔ Customers: This would benefit our customers by offering them more of what they have been seeking in regard to transparency, customer experience and confidence. This would drive loyalty and more additional inhouse sales of all of the products and services our dealerships offer.
✔ Communities: Strong, well-led Dealerships consistently prove their good citizenry to their communities and are an asset to the economic base.
Feel free to share why you believe it's not a good idea or why it's not feasible...or what efforts and timelines you have in place.
Between 2022-2025, I think we can do this. If we want. If we are intentional. If we want to grow with the times.
