It’s 7:45pm, do you know if your store is closed? Sam catches Drew in a role play right out of the gate! Sure, a picture can say 1000 words, but can it get to the root of the issue? Drew & Sam get into ways to solve an issue. Once you know the root of an issue, you can identify the performance gap. Once you have the performance gap you can listen to the next episode!
Join Drew & Sam as they talk speed with 4-time Worlds Fastest Pizza Maker and Domino’s franchisee Dennis Tran. Dennis shares a few theories on success and speed, Sam reminisces about an amazing judge, and Drew shares the kind words of a CEO. The only way this could be cooler is with Dunkin. Listen, you’ll get the joke.
First break all the rules, what the world's greatest managers do differently by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.
A manual without a fable. The guys get into this book. Drew apologizes for a far-sighted delay. Sam tries to make it all about [REDACTED]. We can't give the book away, so you'll have to listen.
CHALLENGE TIME: On the next shift, ask your team do you know what is expected of you on this shift?
Sure, maybe Drew said time management, we're going to prioritize other parts of the conversation. The guys get into dealing with processes over goals. How do you eat an elephant is old fashioned? What could it be replaced by? Tomahawk steaks? You listen and we'll decide!
The guys get through a few tangents to get to the heart of the matter, real-time coaching. Sure Drew & Sam are good at it, they should be! They don't have to close, open, deal with team member issues, or more. They get into the why of it, for you and for your participants. Sam throws out a hastily made challenge because Drew does weird things. BTW, are you laughing, Jeremy Hill?
Role plays, real time coaching, and soft skills, oh my! The guys go deep into coaching and training soft skills. Sam starts it off with a leadership plea. Can you take him up on it? When and where are the best places to train? Drew explains what a coaching inception is, and Sam decides to tease the next episode!
The guys discuss setting clear expectations. We know, this comes up often, it's ok. This time it's around your management team. What if they aren't available all the time? What if they're not a level one? What if your team is hired for a role? The guys dig into this concept and tease another detailed dive into this concept.
The guys get to chat with franchisee John Richards. From the COO of the largest US franchise to a growing franchisee in Central Mississippi (he graduated from Southern Mississippi, see, swing and a southern miss, that's almost funny), John has a great story and a best practice to share.
