Interview with Eric Stone

Listen Later

From an entry level position at Enterprise Rental Car spanning over two and a half decades when he left the company as the Regional Vice President, Eric Stone learned a thing or two about CULTURE.

 

Through engagement and other key steps, you create Culture Carriers. Look at:

  • Time Management and Eisenhower’s grid demarcations of Delegate, Do, Defer, or Delete
  • Hiring Practices to include focusing on attitude, effort, and coachability
  • Hold regular meetings to highlight desired outcomes, then back fill the calendar with times for training and review. 
  • Remember that beliefs lead to behaviors.
    • Identify your priorities and keep them in front of your team members.
    • Remember that 40% of your team don’t actually know what’s expected of them.
    • In exploring corporate culture, investigate the gap between Values and Behavior.
    • Whether working in-office, remotely, or hybrid, there are five factors of engagement that need to be focused on:
      • Relationship with the manager
      • Understanding of requirements
      • Having and utilizing the proper tools and tech
      • Personal and Professional Development
      • Reward systems
      • Because there’s no pressure relief for those working remotely (and hybrid/remote), the stress and anger felt on one day could well carry over to the next day. Leaders need to be the pressure-relief and support.
        • Calendar time for engagement; that’s the core of leadership
        • Explore, “What works? And what can we do better?”
        • Measure workplace culture via:
          • Engagement
          • Experience
          • Ethics & Behavior balanced against Values
          • Sales
          • Retention
          • Growth
          • FRAMEWORK of the Hourglass
            • Discovery - pull information
            • Orchestrate - formulate and roll out priorities
            • Training
            • Assessment & Measurement
            • Balance Mission, Vision, and Values against Policies and Procedures
