SHOW NOTES (DRIVE VERSION) Episode Title: The "Dive" Graduation: Auditing Reserve Leadership (Episode 82) Episode Description: "A store that operates perfectly only when the Store Manager is physically present is an unstable business." In this episode of Drive, Mike Hernandez explains why District Managers must penalize Store Managers who do all the physical work themselves and mandate that they build a roster of fully trained replacement personnel. What You Will Learn: The Operational Liability: Why a Store Manager who works sixty-five hours a week creates a massive risk for the entire territory. The True Test of Leadership: Mike explains why the mental shift from completing tasks to actively teaching others is the ultimate requirement for store stability. The Observation Audit: Exactly what to look for when visiting a store to determine if the Store Manager is actively developing their staff. The Performance Correction: The specific conversation District Managers must have to force Store Managers to delegate their daily responsibilities.
