Thoughts on retail management
Where there is no attention, there
is no energy
"Good retail training says to managers,"This
is what you must look for when you observe performance.
These activities take place in the stores, and to help
your people, that is where you must be"
"Yet, I see retail managers spend
their time doing things: spreadsheets for accounting:
projections for senior management; reports for HR.
They go to meetings and push paper."
"That's why I have this fear that
retail managers are beginning to lose touch with what
their people are doing. I've seen so much effort put
into doing things, that there's precious little time
Left for managers to focus their energy where it can
do the most good on their people."
