In late September and early October we had staff from both our stores in a mini TM1 workshop at each store. We also had a free critique of each location. We had tremendous feedback and response from all of our staff; everyone now has a better understanding of the financial aspects of our business and this will help when we work on core values and Total Management 2: Next Level Leadership this winter. I would recommend every one of you does this, and get all of your staff signed-up.”
