Leadership Philosophy: Empowering Employees

to be a dealer okay Joe it's a it's actually really fun now so what this success like how I feel it has been like I've never given up like when everything is coming down and it feels like oh my gosh how am I going to handle all this you have to come up with a plan on how you're going to get out of that wood safely and I feel that planning and probably the next most important part is surrounding yourself with good employees I think I think that's key it is and the most important is like if you talk to all my guys I try to treat them how I'd want to be treated that's the other leader you would want up yeah that's one of my sayings I've got I made that up I wrote it on my board be the leader you would want to follow treat him the way yes absolutely so I think a lot of what has built my business today I'd be naive to say it's just me because it's not I would say it's all the good employees I've got I've really paid attention to hiring good guys good guys that care about okay meeting this business but I want to jump in here because there's a lot of guys out here that have good guys but if they're not motivating them and driving them to get the most out of them then they're leaving a lot of potential on the table so if they're not pushing a guy to become better themselves then they they're not fulfilled or not going to their utmost potential I think I would agree with that I would agree and I think that might be kind of what you do if I'm listening correct it's really hard because everybody's motivated differently exactly nobody like not one person you can motivate this way and like I treat these guys and tell these guys like they'll be like well he doesn't do this he doesn't do that we got to get him to do this a lot of times it's just putting people in the right place like they might not be good over here and they don't like it but let's find something that they they exceed it and they're really good at and let's find a spot in our business where we can plug them in - okay and when they plug in the goal really is and I've tell all my employees this all the time I want every one of you to be better than me because if every one of you guys are better than me yeah we're gonna we're gonna be more successful than just me right so you try to find all these people I find all these guys that are better we already got guys I can weld butter me I've machine I got guys that can machine better than me I got guys that can manage the shop better than me so it's
