How to Inspire a Team
Atmosphere throughout your
Dealership
2006
Team. It's a word that we tend
to throw around a lot but we don't often really think about
what it is, beyond some of the sports we may play or watch
on television. Believe it or not, teams in the pit at the
Indy races have the same thing in common as teams in a
dealership: they are all working to accomplish one goal,
whatever that goal may be. Getting your staff members to
work together as a team is the only way for everyone to win.
"It's important to identify
teams and personalities that can work together to accomplish
a goal," explains John Steadman, president of JOVI
Enterprises, an automotive consulting and training company
that has been helping to build a team atmosphere at
dealerships for decades. "I usually work with people using a
pit crew mentality. Instead of having one person doing it
all, which would take too long, you have people with
different talents all working together to reach a goal
faster."
Once you have all the right
people with different talents under one roof, the challenge
is to figure out how to get them working together smoothly.
Don't despair; there are several important elements that
managers tend to overlook. When you address those issues, a
team atmosphere will naturally begin to be felt throughout
the organization.
One common occurrence in
dealerships is for the "employee of the month" to end up
being the same person, over and over. This tends to tear
down team camaraderie, rather than build it up. It's
important to make sure that different people hold that title
in the course of the year.
"It's important to have
employee think-tanks," says Steadman. "Start by asking them
basic questions about what they like, what they don't like,
and what they would alter if they had the ability to change
things at the business."
Equally as important as
holding the meetings and hearing the employees out is
actually taking action by responding to some of their
requests. While it's unrealistic to think that all their
concerns can be remedied, it's important for them to see
some of their issues being addressed. Furthermore, they need
to understand why some things can't be changed.
"There needs to be a response
and a reason for the response," adds Steadman. "That's one
of the downfalls of management; they need to explain why
some things are for the betterment of all, not just for one.
They need to explain what it does for the team as a whole."
