“An employee’s commitment to the dealership diminishes when unfulfilled expectations accumulate. This will eventually lead to failure.”
Clear and consistent communication of expectations to your employees should be a daily mission. Communication that shares understanding of expectations creates success in your dealership.
Truly listening will give you the crucial information needed to improve your company. It helps employees feel involved and motivated to help you achieve your goals. And, in turn, because of your actions, they see you are motivated to help them achieve theirs.
Your job is to make sure that each employee in your dealership stays excited and motivated, but that requires a good deal of work and the right processes in place to keep them.

An employee handbook gives your employees the ability to make better decisions
Dealers who haven’t taken the time to put together an employee handbook often have employees asking them for special favors. Keep in mind that your employee handbook is your human resources process. It gives you the structure and accountability you need to operate a successful dealership.
The job expectations and employee handbook help new team members and also helps you communicate your expectations to existing employees.

“Your expectations for your employees should never be a secret. They should be clear, precise and easy to understand.”
Good leaders establish direction and processes for the organization, and they model the attitude they want their employees to have. Leaders sometimes believe every employee should be self-motivated, no matter how poorly work processes are designed.
But that’s not true. Well-designed processes will motivate, while poorly designed processes create roadblocks and frustration. Every employee we work with at our dealership consultations knows the numbers that they are measured against every day.
One way to measure your employees is to conduct performance reviews at least twice a year. This will help clearly communicate your expectations.

Often, employees are not meeting expectations due to simple miscommunication.
