So proud of Texas Aftersales leaders ! 49 hours ago many stores were dealing with no power , hail , making sure teams were safe etc - I sent a message that sums these leaders up as they achieved our May expectations through all the adversity :
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is our storm to overcome and out perform
In the next 48 hours, we stand on the brink of greatness. As leaders in the automotive industry, we face a final push to close out May with unwavering determination, enthusiasm, and excitement. Our journey ahead is not without its challenges. We have confronted fierce winds, relentless floods, and unforgiving hail. We may lose power, endure the discomfort of no power, and face the terrifying worry of tornadoes. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of adversity that true leadership shines the brightest.
Extreme leadership is not just about guiding a team through calm waters; it's about steering the ship through the storm, withstanding the tempest, and emerging stronger on the other side. This is our storm, and this is our moment to demonstrate what we are truly made of. We said it’s a 60 day plan - but it’s actually an ALWAYs plan ! You continue are progress towards greatness EVERY day !
When the winds howl and the rain beats down, remember that it is our resilience and resolve that define us. Our ability to adapt, to persevere, and to innovate in the face of adversity sets us apart. We will not be deterred by the elements. Instead, we will harness the power of our collective spirit to push forward, to overcome every obstacle that stands in our way. Car people always will car people - meaning ? Obstacles and adversity are hurdles you find a way to fly over.
Communicate clearly, act decisively, and lead by example. Show your teams that even in the absence of power and comfort, our determination remains unshaken. When the hailstones fall, let them see your unwavering focus-And when the tornadoes threaten, let them feel your unbreakable will. They look to you to gauge how to react to adversity.
As we push or pull each other towards our goals, remember that the strength of our team lies in unity. It is our shared purpose, our collective effort, and our unwavering belief in each other that will carry us through these challenging times. Celebrate every small victory, acknowledge every effort, and keep the momentum going.
Together, we can turn these next 48 hours into a testament of will-As leaders, it is our responsibility to infuse our teams with the enthusiasm and excitement needed to finish this month on the highest possible note.
Let us lead with courage, with passion, and with an unyielding belief in our potential. The storm may rage, but so do we !
And yes - June 1 stands ready to be vaulted into. That’s the 49th hour. And again your tireless efforts will crank up the engine and do it again.
Everything matters. You matter.
Make these hours EPIC
Let’s roll !!
Thank you
Ken
Director of Business Development
