Get Out of Your Own Way: Leadership Lessons for Shop Owners [RR 1102]
Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS
What’s holding your shop back: your competition or your leadership?
Bill Haas of Auto Ignite Management joins Carm Capriotto to challenge shop owners to rethink leadership, accountability, and the value of their expertise. Anchored by his mantra, “If you’re not on your way, you’re in the way,” Bill discusses how complacency, avoiding difficult decisions, and failing to lead with intention can limit a shop’s success. He also shares why building a profitable, employee-focused business is essential for attracting top talent today and creating a business worth selling tomorrow.
What You’ll Learn
- Why “specialist” better reflects today’s automotive professionals.
- How shop owners can become the biggest obstacle to business growth.
- Why accountability is the foundation of strong leadership.
- How data leads to better financial and operational decisions.
- What creates a healthy, profitable shop culture.
- Why investing in employees increases your shop’s long-term value.
The most successful shops are led by owners who embrace accountability, value their team’s expertise, and continually invest in their people and culture. Build a business employees want to join, customers trust, and future buyers will want to own.
