To the Collision Repair Industry,
After 43 years in the field, I feel compelled to address a concerning trend. The industry's focus on executive promotions, golfing, and leadership events is prevalent, but where is the emphasis on performance? True leadership and management seem to be lacking, with celebrations overshadowing the hard work of skilled craftsmen and women—the backbone of our success.
When asked about my success in Collision Repair, I attribute it to recognizing the dignity in labor. These individuals are the industry's greatest asset, yet their daily contributions and challenges are often overlooked. My secret? Celebrating them and their unwavering dedication. Let's shift the spotlight to those who truly make it happen.
This post is dedicated to all my teams. However, the team in this photo is by far the best I have ever had in my life. They worked hard and long to achieve their Honda Pro First Certification! It was not an easy process. They excelled at every level! My business partners Rob Collins and Kelly Huard worked long and hard shoulder to shoulder with myself and this team to achieve this certification! It was and is an honor to work next to these outstanding individuals!
Without them, we are nothing, without them, we have nothing! Without them, we have no business!
Inspire, reward, provide, give, listen, help, be open, be accountable, hold accountable!
Watch the magic happen! Most of you will never get there because you put your self-importance over them!!!
