In today’s fast-changing marine market, one strength sets the highest performing dealerships apart from the rest: The leadership skills of their managers. 

Most owners promote their best producers into management where their performance stalls. Managers stay stuck “doing,” and both growth and adaptability suffer. The issue isn’t effort or intent. It’s a leadership gap. 

In this session from leadership expert Fleming Ford, you’ll learn how to scale your business by building leaders who coach, develop and hold teams accountable, rather than stepping in to do the work yourself. 

You will get your hands dirty learning how to shift managers from star players into effective coaches and leave armed with practical frameworks and best practices you can apply immediately to strengthen leadership depth and boost adaptability, productivity, retention and long-term growth. 

• Recognize why managers get stuck in “doer mode” and how to stop unintentionally reinforcing it

• Discover how to use practical frameworks and success measurements to help managers shift from producing to growing producers

• Gain techniques for preparing future managers before promotion and upskilling current managers who need to evolve
