On August 28, 1963 in front of Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a speech that became a pivotal turning point in U.S. history.  What made Dr. King’s dream a reality was his literally devotion to being in action.  He acted despite adversity, ridicule and criticism.  His thoughts and opinions were not popular and were considered not acceptable at the time.  What would the face of America look like today if he had approached that podium and said, “I have a dream” and stopped right there?

Not all of us are great orators or inventors, but we all have the ability to mold our world.  Even Henry Ford was the product of those who came before him, those he encountered along the way and those whose life he touched.  Each person has a dream, but often we find it easier to keep that passion bottled up and hidden from those around us.  Yes, it takes imagination and inspiration to dream.  In our dreams, anything is possible.  The difficulty comes in bridging our dreams with reality.  Bringing a dream into the real world takes courage and faith.

Shifting our behavior patterns from being the tools of implementation for the policies and procedures assigned to us to being the change in the world around us, is our own access to progress.  The Manus Group has a dream that Dealerships Nationwide can shed the reputations of the past, by creating employment environments where everyone would want to become a car salesperson.  The Manus Group believes that one of the first steps is responsible automotive recruitment coupled with customer service focused sales performance training.

Everyone has a dream.  It is the person who gets up each day and risks humility and failure to show courage while being in action that will see their dreams become reality.  Only when you step up to the line and take the shot or attempt the goal or grasp the opportunity can you win.  Failure is not an option...it just happens.  Quitting is an option, as it is a choice.  The dash on a headstone represents the legacy that we leave behind, but sadly many humans will play it safe and be laid to rest along with their dreams.  I often wonder what the world would be like if we all had the opportunity to deliver our very own “I have a dream” speech.

There is no mystery in the concept that the happier employees are, the more productive they are, resulting in greater profits for your organization.   Read the below descriptions for a leader and a boss and determine what is the driving force in your dealership.  

Leaders are people that are responsible for inspiring, guiding and leading a group of people on a path for a common cause. A leader is responsible for commanding a group of people, as well as participates as a member of the team.  An effective leader protects his organization and its people from harm.  Leaders teach over tell and lead through example.  Real leaders are expected to govern themselves and their actions.  They are often active listeners who are strong without being strong-willed.  Their vision is usually driven my innovation, inspiration and integrity.  Effective leaders dismiss their own selfish agendas while doing what is right over what is best. A leader plays the game that you don’t win at all cost, but lead at all cost.

A boss is a person who is in charge of the work place. A boss is not expected to be a member of the team, but is someone each member of the team is expected to answer to.  Bosses are driven by monetary concerns and do not always care for the well-being of the people.  As a result, the culture of their organizations become about exploiting people for profit.  Bosses acquire authority and respect from fear and intimidation.  They give orders and demands, pushing people to work under them.  If something goes wrong, a boss will pass on the blame because they are not seen to be a member of the team.  Bosses often lack vision and live in moment, worrying about tomorrow when tomorrow comes.  The agendas of a boss are often self-serving and vary with the tides of the moment.  A boss plays the game of win at all cost.

A leader is considered to be more effective than a boss when creating happy, productive employees.  Therefore a leader and not a boss is the key to increasing profits in your organization.  If your organization is being driven my bosses, it is time to look towards Automotive Management Recruitment.
