Help your new store manager succeed

April 5, 2014 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Help your consignment or resale manager succeedDoing some research for a consultation client store, I found these 6 steps in developing a manager that all shops could use:

I would love to have a quarter for every new manager I’ve seen flail and flounder in his/her new job. Since in most cases each was promoted because he/she is a great individual contributor but has little if any management experience, it’s not too surprising when that person takes a while to find his/her footing.

So says the Retail Contrarian in a blog post that all consignment, resale and thrift shop owners need to read. Seriously. Click over to the article and read it. It could save you years of tears, false hires or promotions… and maybe even that family vacation that would have to be canceled if you can’t get your manager, well, managing your business while you’re gone.

If you don’t have a manager now, keep this article for when you do. Yes, I think it’s that important.
