After being able move around the business to acquire talents in all areas of the store and operating model, I was able to achieve the position of general manager.

Advice to Management

To Hubert Joly and the rest of the senior leadership at Best Buy, I commend you on your ability to right the ship and continue the journey for this fantastic and beloved company. I just would hope that you could ensure when you see indicators in markets that you have unusual turnover levels of tenured leadership that has proven performance, employee satisfaction index, and customer satisfaction index. It should be questioned immediately! Especially if that same market may be a catalyst for ensuring proper ethics is reiterated.

Advice to Management

Leaders are made leaders for a reason. Empower them to hold their team accountable. Disciplinary action should be taken for insubordination. Why set goals if there is no accountability for not meeting them? There needs to be consequences for poor actions in the workplace for leaders as well as employees. This company should not be promoting the culture that it is OK to do and say anything you like in the workplace. Customer service and profit should be the focus of the workplace. When personal phone calls take preference on the sales floor, and associates are allowed to take multiple 15 minute breaks in one shift, there needs to be some restructuring in upper management.
