3. INSPIRE EXCELLENCE WITH WINNING MANAGEMENT
Inspiring and motivating winning dealership teams can be especially
challenging in the face of record-breaking profits and low inventory
levels.
This is when it's especially critical that leaders recognize the impact they
have on their teams.
"You have to stay grounded and humble and give credit," says Doug,
remembering, "It's not about me, it's about the success of the team."
D O U G ' S A D V I C E
Make a consistent, intentional effort to be a great leader to inspire excellence dealership-wide.
"You have to wake up every day to make that conscious choice to say, 'Today is going to be a great day. I
can, I am, I will, my team will, as a store we will. We must believe in each other.'"
Even as dealers balance sky-high transaction prices with limited inventories, there's no shortage of
opportunities to lead and inspire winning dealership teams. But as dealership leaders manage customer
expectations and communication between teams, imparting the right information in an effective way can
make or break their approach.
While there's no single strategy to manage successful dealership teams, Doug does have one golden rule
for every leader: "Think big. You have to believe and have fun."
