As each assistant rotates through the different management roles, each becomes more expert at his job and is, thus, a more effective manager. Even better, each spoke as if he were the owner of that operation. By Michael Rosenbaum It’s difficult to think of clipboards as an innovative training tool, but a visit to a local tire store reminded me that even the most basic tools can deliver strong impact. In this case, the training system employed a roles-based management (RBM) style, a deceptively simple management training process employed by Discount Tire Company.
