Are You Micromanaging Your Team to Disengagement? [RR 1024]

About this episode

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care, NAPA TRACS and Automotive Management Network "I had mistook tasks for servant leadership. Servant leadership is critical. If I'm not there to serve the people that work for me, to empower them to do the best possible job that they can do, then I'm holding them back." Connor Tracy, Director of Partner Development at KUKUI, discusses leadership challenges in auto repair shops, the importance of delegation and empowerment, adapting to industry changes, and the role of technology and data in modern shop management. Discover practical tips to transition from being a micromanager to a leader who can drive business growth effectively.
