Are you really leading… or just managing? (Here’s the Hard Truth)
Hey Keep The Changers, today’s episode might just change the way you look at leadership and culture forever. I’ve been in the automotive business for over 40 years (yeah, I know… you can do the math), and one thing I’ve realized after all that time is this: the word “culture” never shows up in conversations inside low-performing stores.
