The Importance of Leadership Training for Fleet Managers #fleetmanagement #culture #fleetmanagers

RTA's CEO Josh Turley shares a story about an interaction he had with a fleet manager that reinforces everything he does:

"I was at a conference once, we were teaching about the five dysfunctions of a team, which is all about building a healthy organization and and having an amazing team to work with. And I had a fleet manager from a local municipality here come up to me afterwards. And she says, 'Josh, you don't understand. Nobody takes the time to teach us about this stuff.'

"And when you're facing things like technician shortages and people quitting to go down to the dealership or they can make 12 bucks more an hour, culture is everything. Culture is what's going to keep those people happy. It's going to keep them engaged. It's going to keep them feeling connected to the purpose.

"I can't think of anything worse than wasting my time, my life, right? The only time I have, you only live once. I can't think of anything worse than wasting that one life I've been given on work that I don't enjoy, right? And part of making sure that people enjoy work is having an intentional culture that they can rally around, that they enjoy being a part of where they can accomplish something greater than themselves."
