Nothing.

June 2017 • Scottsdale, AZ
What I liked
The experience in retail is invaluable. It taught me what exceptional and efficient leadership looks like in a company that offers minimal resources for their general managers to keep talent. I learned a great deal about what leadership styles work for certain personality types, and which styles do not. I was also inspired by the resourcefulness of both the G.M (Anthony Affronti) and and the assistant manager (James Mendoza) to encourage growth in their employees and further engage with Walgreen's customers.
What I wish was different
Nothing. It is pivotal to work alongside others in a "grunt" position to better understand what their needs and wants are in comparison to the priorities of leadership. This is how I plan to become a more proficient leader in the future, to better build bridges with my employees.
Advice
All big businesses are built from the bottom up, like a pyramid. The "little guy" needs to be understood and cared for to build a truly effective team as a leader. An effective team builds the stable foundation necessary for a company to thrive.
