On Growth Strategy.

Even as you read this, many think of 'Forecasting', which is merely a segment of a true Growth Strategy.

Here are my 5 tips to set the stage for successful Growth Strategy.

1. Growth Strategy begins with a vision. Without imagination, creativity and even discontent in play, your results will be as cold, hard and flat as the table you've gathered around.

Visions + Visionaries are exciting, inspiring others to follow, stirring their minds on 'What Is Possible'.

2. Successful programs require all leaders to be active participants. Listening, contributing, pushing back, pushing forward together.

3. A cursory assessment of your teams, their performance, headwinds, data + metrics from all units plus industry insights are the starting point.

4. Allow 2x the time you planned to allocate for your first meeting. Pre-schedule 2 additional meetings to generate your viable, actionable Growth Strategy.

4. Everyone agrees on the clear outline of expectations and timelines.

5. Communicate early and often to your organization. Their feedback, insights and participation are all essential to ensure you achieve the goals you set.

On A Less Than Stellar November.

We know by the data November wasn't outstanding.
Also, by the lack of public jubilation.

What if, what if instead of living out Automotive succcesses and shortcomings in an erratic EKG of heart-stopping rhythms, we slowed down and took a much clearer, more strategic look at our progress and opportunities through at least a 90 day lens?

Here's what we know.

Due to overexuberance in recent months, GMs and Managerial staff have put themselves squarely under a laser-like microscope reading 'FAILED'.

Some of you are sitting in upstairs offices today, explaining your 'what went wrong' and 'we'll pull it off this month, boss' conversations.

This is not strategy.

Don't rely on a 'good month' and stop the panic over a bad 30 days. Far too much, good or bad, is not in your control.

Having a good December is seriously vanilla these days- boring. Everyone does. OEMs push incentives, everyone works at a feverish pace, driving dollars per hour into the ground.

What if there were another way?
There is.

Get strategic on #People, on #Planning, on #Performance, on #Profitability and extract your business from the old EKG and its accompanying hiring / firings.

Do #Automotive Brilliantly.

Let's get down to business.
