“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Peter Drucker
Create It Using Exceptional Resources!
You’ll likely agree that there are resources, in this world, that we really wouldn’t want to do without.
A dictionary, for example.
Imagine how frustrating it would be to hear a word that you didn’t recognize which, possibly renders a whole sentence or paragraph unintelligible to you, and not have a way to get the definition and understand the word and context.
How would you proceed? How would you take action if it was required of you?
You may find you could not do it.
We have to understand if we are to act appropriately.
Another well used resource is a medical text. Doctors have to learn as much as possible about the human body and how it works; about symptoms of every disease, condition, therapy, etc. They must have a reliable resource to consult when necessary.
How would the Doctor ever graduate from Medical School without using all of the resource materials at his disposal?
Accountants and Legal Professionals all consult volumes of texts and reports and case studies in order to gain their degrees and go on to do their jobs properly.
Skilled Tradespeople learn through books, apprenticeship programs and other resource materials in order to become licensed in their field.
Every profession needs resources available to them for study, and for future reference, regardless of what stage they are at.
Retail Managers are no different.
Trying to function well in their positions without resources is bound to be frustrating and not terribly productive.
Colleagues and Superiors are certainly excellent resources but they do not stay put and cannot be relied upon absolutely every time they may be needed. They have their jobs to do, too so as much as they may want to help….they just can’t always be there.
Perhaps you didn’t need any additional resources when you started out. You knew everything and did everything your way, right or wrong.
But, when you are in growth mode, you definitely need more sophisticated help.
Growth requires that certain systems, processes and procedures are in place and working well.
We’re not talking about red-tape and bureaucratic hold ups. There is no room for any of that in a fast moving, successful retail operation.
We’re talking about the disciplines, the principles, the consistency, the fairness and reward systems. We’re talking about performance management that works instead of fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants coaching and employee evaluations.
What resources will you provide to the people working in the stores, the districts, the Head Office?
How will they function at the top of their game?
And, your high performing individuals will need reliable resources to help them get the knowledge and skills they need to move them to the next level in the organization.
A super Sales Associate will need help and training to move to Department Supervisor, or whatever that next level is in your organization.
An Assistant Manager will need resources to learn from so that s/he can take the helm of a store.
You won’t be able to avoid the pitfalls of growth without the required preparation. And, for that, you need to get hold of serious retail management resources.
