Key Idea: Use Four Steps To Coach EmployeesEmployees at Tire Plus know what is expected of them and if they are meeting those expectations. |
Key Question:A:
Be clear about what you want people to accomplish. Very few people can read your mind. You might think your spouse or partner can. However, we doubt an employee can know you so well and be in such sync with you that you can float through the business and the things you want to see happen just happen. In the very funny movie released in 2000 called, "What Women Want," Mel Gibson played a Chicago advertising executive who was able read women's minds. This ability turned out to be a tremendous asset but sadly, most of us can't do it. Think about itWhat are your strengths and weaknesses with it comes to your communication skills? Which of these four steps do you do well? Which do you do poorly? What can you do to improve? Clip from: Tires Plus with Tom Gegax and Don GulletMinneapolis: In 1978, Tom Gegax and his partner Don Gullet, bought a few gas stations and opened for business. By 1998, they had 150 tire stores with 2,000 employees generating $200 million in annual sales. That's a good story unto itself, however, in this episode of the show, we learn from a master entrepreneur about the meaning and value of life. Tom Gegax is pulling and pushing us up the ladder. When they sold this business, he became an author. His third book, The Big Book About Small Business builds on his first two, By the Seat of Your Pants: The No-Nonsense Business Survival Guide, and Winning in the Game of Life. The first editorial title for Tom's book was The Enlightened Executive. And with all these self-help books and continuous improvement cycles within our lives, enlightenment is actually breaking out all over. Tom Gegax was a founder, the Head Coach, as well as Chairman and CEO. In 1999 they were being courted for acquisition. In 2000 Bridgestone/Firestone sealed the deal to buy 100% of the company.
