According to the December 2017 jobs report, U.S. unemployment is at 4.1 percent , a 17-year low. Obviously, this is good news. We want everyone who wants a job to have a job. However, it’s also a challenge. Really low unemployment means that recruiting is tougher. A lot tougher! It can take much longer to find qualified candidates and fill open positions.

Following several years of ever-increasing growth, in 2017, experts predicted new vehicle sales have plateaued, and will likely decline in the coming years.

So how can your dealership set itself up success given the expected new vehicle sales decline?

In thriving organizations, culture looks like (and often is) the hidden “secret sauce.” On the flip side, in failing organizations, culture is often blamed for preventing change. When we envision what the two look like, they could not appear more dissimilar in our minds. The culture of engagement, passion, and purpose versus the culture of punching clocks and sacred cows.

Recently I caught a story on Yahoo Finance about the analysis of more than six billion nights of sleep data released from FitBit. We all think about sleep in almost abstract terms–I sleep or I don’t, I’m sleepy or I’m not, etc. But this has a real, tangible effect on how we operate as humans and how we perform at work, at home, and elsewhere.

Here’s the reader note: As an employer, I had an employee who was working on an important project that didn’t even resign, they just left and never responded.

According to a Gallup poll , around 85% of employees class themselves as either ‘not engaged’ or ‘actively disengaged’ at work. No wonder employee engagement is a perennial issue. But what does a ‘disengaged’ employee look like? Disengagement can take many forms but some of the most common are: doing just enough to get by (if that), not recommending their employer to others, complaining to teammates and avoiding their manager, and making excuses for their mistakes.

Being a consultant or freelancer really wasn’t cool back when I became one.
