Matthew C. Haiken from Prestige Volvo has joined the speaker lineup for ASOTU CON this September 25-27th! 🔥 His perspective as an innovating Principal will help us scratch more than the surface on multiple topics. Stores under Matthew's direction have been top volume new and used stores every year since 2006 😲 Ya, he knows what he is doing apparently!! We also know that he recognizes the importance of online market structure and has overseen the exponential growth of the dealership since he took over. It's clear the he always brings the focus back to his clientele as well. As Matthew C. puts it, "There's no such thing as no. If the client wants it, they'll get it." This commitment to his customers is what we like to see 💪and he certainly sets an example as a leader in the automotive industry. Be sure to show up to learn from Matthew in Baltimore!!👇 asotucon.com/tickets ___ #automotiveindustry #auto #automotive #cars #carsales #carbuying #carbusiness #cardealer #dealerships #conference2023 #innovation #leadership #fixedops #oem #carmanufacturer #automotivemarketing #dealershiplife #dealerships #dealershipmarketing

As a long standing Fiat then FCA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and now Stellantis shareholder, it is my obligation to remember the last true visionary leader: #Sergio_Marchionne. He not only had the pragmatic vision of the “doers” but was also capable of designing a pathway for the entire #automotive industry. Over the past 6 years, since his passing, lack of true leadership has brought the company (now together with the former Groupe PSA) to the brink of irrelevance! He knew how to drive Value forward!! #automation #branding #mobility

This post crossed my feed this morning, and it stopped me in my tracks. I don’t recall seeing a better recruitment strategy. Ever. Having a team express what they’re seeking in a leader? Brilliant marketing and a phenomemal team morale boost. The message is incredibly concise, with a clear vision. This short video summarizes values that employees cherish. If you have this skill set and want to contribute to this culture, you are encouraged to apply. I am not affiliated with, nor am I interested in the position, but for recruitment friends, hiring managers and marketing specialists, you may gain some insight from this unique approach. I’m curious to learn the number of applicants they receive… As Simon Sinek so eloquently shared, “Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.” #challengethenorm #leadershipmatters #becreative #hirethebestfit

When asked, "What will be the main differences between an electric Ferrari and other cars?" Benedetto Vigna answered: "Well, there are functional cars with the goal of moving people from point A to point B, emitting zero carbon dioxide. You don’t care about its brand and it doesn't really move you. Separately, there are emotional cars that give you a unique driving experience, like Ferraris." I've always viewed Benedetto Vigna as an exceptional leader with a strong vision. There are so many brands that look at electrifying cars from a technological point of view, but Vigna made sure that the idea of an electric Ferrari revolves around how to extract the best emotion from the driver using the vehicle. It is leaders like him that keep innovation alive. It's leaders like him that keep the red, shining dream alive. #Ferrari #leadership #electricvehicles

How Toyota beat Ford to become #1 automobile manufacturer in the world. It is fascinating to know that Toyota had almost zero market share when they started out and now is known to be the industry leaders. I have been able to explain what they did and how they did it. If you find this educative and interesting, kindly share, comment and like. #AnythingImprovementWithOtokiti #ContinuousImprovement

Today, I came across an inspiring and witty farewell video from BMW dedicated to Mercedes-Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche on his retirement. The video humorously captures Zetsche's transition from Mercedes-Benz to enjoying the freedom of driving a BMW i8 Roadster. This playful yet respectful tribute is a fantastic reminder of the significance of healthy competition in the business world. Rivalries like the one between BMW and Mercedes-Benz push boundaries, foster innovation, and drive both companies to achieve excellence. As professionals, we can learn a lot from this example. Healthy competition not only keeps us striving for better but also fosters mutual respect and admiration among industry peers. Here’s to celebrating our competitors, who inspire us to continually improve and evolve. Check out the video and join me in appreciating the power of friendly rivalry in propelling us all forward. https://lnkd.in/eYyfRqGG #Business #Competition #Innovation #Marketing #Leadership #MKTG5519

Good leaders are like not Formula 1 cars, They’re more like bulldozers. 𝗪𝗵𝘆? It may surprise you.. Too often we promote the star player to manager. Think of a line of cars going around a race track, We pick the Formula 1 car to show them how. It doesn’t work, Every car has a different pace, Every car takes corners in different ways, Each car needs a different pitstop strategy. The best leaders are more like bulldozers. Not because: - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 No, because: - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱 - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵 - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴 Be the bulldozer.
