Greenwood Season 3 Episode 4: The Importance of Empowering Your Staff
The future success of aftermarket companies may soon come down to staff.
That’s one of the take-ways in the latest video from management consultant Bob Greenwood.
He says it’s imperative that management inventories the talents and attitudes of their current staff, in order to ensure positive work relationships are in place and that all employees have focused career mindsets.
Quoting the renowned 19th Century business consultant and food industry strategist Clarence Francis, Greenwood says you can buy a person’s time, physical presence and muscle motion, but you cannot buy initiative, loyalty, or devotion. You must earn that.
A high-functioning staff is a tremendous edge in business, Greenwood says, pointing out that it’s easy to copy business strategies, but harder to copy the attributes of a loyal staff.
