Inside the Heart & Mind of Champion GM Mitch Dixon: Perseverance and Motivation
In the second part of this conversation from Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf welcomes back the 2023 GM of the Year Mitch Dixon to delve into a candid discussion about life, leadership, and personal development. Mitch shares insight into the multifaceted challenges of fatherhood and the concept of perseverance, attributing much of his resilience to the influence of his late father and wife—both of whom he regards as unsung heroes. He derives inspiration from public figures such as Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle, reflecting their philosophy of focusing on what's within one's control. Mitch talks about the nuances of sales, likening it to the art of forming strong initial connections, akin to dating. Mitch praises the culture within Broad River, citing the immense recognition; the family atmosphere; the bonus and overall compensation programs; the leadership development; and the fact that he's sitting down with the CEO recording a podcast. He surprises listeners with personal anecdotes, revealing himself as a tender family man with disciplined habits, including gym routines, always being on time, and using commutes for self-improvement through meditation and podcasts.
Providing a glimpse into his motivations for leadership, Mitch underscores the importance of daily actions that positively influence others' lives. He also shares that he believes his ability to be immersed with his team on the sales floor and leverage his talent for spatial awareness propel him to excel in leadership on the sales floor. When offering advice to new hires, he suggests for them not to fear the hurt from rejection and the pain from not succeeding at first, because going through the pain and the struggle is part of the process of learning how to grow and achieve success. He shares his favorite interview question that he uses to help him gain an understanding of what motivates the candidate.
He expresses a desire for his legacy to be encapsulated by the words "father," "husband," and "perseverance," and stresses the role of teaching emotional intelligence and discipline to his child. The episode reveals how Mitch's aversion to losing propels him to push for continual improvement, with his 2024 goals set on winning prestigious awards and seeking promotion outside his current store.
