Narrator (Intro)
From Studio Three at Buzz TV… it’s The Horse’s Mouth with Tom McManus!
Tom McManus
I welcome you to The Horse’s Mouth right here at Lynch’s Irish Pub in Jacksonville Seaside — a lot like to our good mates at All Dry Providers of Southeast Jacksonville. Nice to have them on board. We respect all their assist.
We’ve bought a bit one-on-one time right here on the bar, which I all the time love — up shut and private. Tony Davis is my visitor. He’s a return visitor, he’s an entrepreneur, he’s bought a brand new factor occurring, and we’re going to speak all about management — which I really like. So let’s get into it with Tony Davis.
Tony Davis
Hey Tom.
Tom McManus
Yeah, it’s been a number of years.
Tony Davis
And it has been nice.
Tom McManus
We had a few corporations we began, constructed, bought. You guys…
Tony Davis
Nicely, thanks very a lot.
Tom McManus
It’s not simple being an entrepreneur.
Tony Davis
It’s not. You’ve bought to have resilience. You’ve bought to have psychological agility, emotional intelligence, for certain.
Tom McManus
Know the right way to pivot if it’s important to.
Tony Davis
Completely.
Tom McManus
Emotionally sturdy.
Tony Davis
For certain.
Tom McManus
Loads goes into it. Individuals suppose, “Oh yeah…” However what number of profitable entrepreneurs have you ever talked to that mentioned, “Yeah, however you must’ve seen my losses”? You recognize, there are all the time concepts that don’t work out — however people who do…
Tony Davis
Plenty of grit. Most entrepreneurs have a pleasant onerous exterior… however inside, they’re a multitude. Little question. And that’s the place my new franchise is available in.
Tom McManus
Yeah — inform us what it’s. CrestCom Management?
Tony Davis
CrestCom Management Improvement.
Tom McManus
Improvement — okay, nice.
Tony Davis
So I work with corporations right here in Northeast Florida, throughout all industries, all styles and sizes — and I assist rework their administration groups into simpler leaders.
Tom McManus
Okay, how do you try this? What’s the muse of the method?
Tony Davis
Nicely, the beauty of it’s — our method to management improvement is exclusive. We outline success by altering habits. As a result of if we don’t change habits, there’s no management. Proper? It’s simply an train in futility.
So every thing we do is concentrated on altering habits. And on the core of how we do it… is accountability.
Tony Davis
As a result of Tom, what number of occasions have you ever or anyone gone to coaching and the proprietor says, “Okay, I anticipate you to be a greater supervisor once you get again”? After which what occurs once you get again?
Tom McManus
Nothing.
Tony Davis
Nothing! Proper? So our packages are distinctive. It’s a 12-month improvement program — simply 4 hours a month. Throughout that point, I practice them on two, two-hour modules on two totally different management abilities. After which we now have month-to-month accountability conferences in between, the place we speak about takeaways and the way we’re making use of these classes at work.
Tom McManus
Yeah. The most effective leaders I’ve had — constant, trustworthy.
Tony Davis
Sincere.
Tom McManus
Honest.
Tony Davis
Completely.
Tom McManus
Aside from that, you could be onerous. You could be something in between. However I want these issues out of a pacesetter if I’m going to comply with them. Is that truthful?
Tony Davis
That’s completely proper. And right here’s the factor, Tom — management begins with self.
Tom McManus
Completely.
Tony Davis
If you happen to can’t lead your self…
Tom McManus
…how are you going to steer others?
Tony Davis
Precisely. And I inform the individuals I practice and develop: management abilities transcend the 4 partitions of the office. It makes us higher husbands, wives, fathers, moms, residents, and troopers. As a result of whether or not we handle individuals or not, we’re all leaders. It’s all about mindset — how we view ourselves.
If I’ve issues holding myself accountable, I’ll battle being accountable to others — and I received’t know the right way to maintain them accountable both.
Tom McManus
And that applies to enterprise life, house life — whether or not you’re the daddy of a household or a group chief.
Tony Davis
Precisely. And once you put it when it comes to a group, everyone ought to be capable of maintain everyone accountable.
Tom McManus
So Tony, how do individuals not have that? Like — it’s ingrained in me. It’s ingrained in you. Proper? Did they not study it? Was it by no means instilled?
Tony Davis
It’s the distinction between having a progress mindset versus a hard and fast mindset.
You’d be shocked what number of enterprise homeowners I name right here in Jacksonville and so they say on the telephone, “Nah, we’re good.”
Tom McManus
Proper?
Tony Davis
Yeah — what does that even imply? You don’t want management improvement to your individuals? Or for your self?
“No, we’ve bought every thing beneath management.”
That’s a hard and fast mindset. And it doesn’t matter who you might be or what you do — all of us want a progress mindset, as a result of no one corners the market on management.
Tom McManus
No.
Tony Davis
We are able to all be higher.
Tom McManus
No doubt. You’ve bought to be open-minded. You stall in any other case. Like, “I’ve by no means accomplished it that means, and I by no means will…” — that’s an issue.
Tony Davis
Yeah. And also you ask a number of the most distinguished leaders on the earth what makes them nice, and so they’ll inform you: “I’m all the time studying. I’m all the time curious. I’m all the time attempting to be higher.”
Right here’s a quote I really like: “Daily, we get higher or we worsen — we by no means keep the identical.”
Tom McManus
Yeah.
Tony Davis
And that’s a alternative. A alternative we make.
Tom McManus
I’ll provide you with one if I’ll — I interviewed Dick Vermeil on the Tremendous Bowl.
Tony Davis
Ex-Chiefs — yep.
Tom McManus
He had this management framework — “7 Steps to Nice Management.” I don’t keep in mind 2 via 7, however primary was this: Allow them to know you care about them.
Tony Davis
Completely.
Tom McManus
And should you present that — I don’t care if it’s sports activities or enterprise — in the event that they know you care about them, you’re not simply the boss, not just a few chief, however somebody who desires them to succeed… you possibly can lead anyone.
Tony Davis
Completely.
Tom McManus
Take into consideration your loved ones.
Tony Davis
You care about them.
Tom McManus
My women know their dad loves them. I’ll do something for them. They know. It’s bought to be that means.
Tony Davis
Have a look at one of the best coaches within the NFL — they care. They present that they care concerning the individual.
Andy Reid. Dick Vermeil. Tony Dungy.
Tom McManus
Liam Cohen right here domestically — I feel he’s displaying that.
Tony Davis
Precisely. And that’s the distinction between a supervisor and a pacesetter.
Managers get individuals to do what they want by any means mandatory. Leaders — individuals need to do the work for them, as a result of they’re seen as an asset, not a pawn. And since they care.
Tom McManus
Message to leaders: Don’t be an act.
Tony Davis
Precisely.
Tom McManus
Don’t placed on a present. Be who you might be day-after-day — and if it’s good, individuals will comply with.
Tony Davis
You’re precisely proper. Be actual. And you understand what — it’s okay to be susceptible. Your humility precedes belief.
Tom McManus
That’s proper.
Tony Davis
And when you’ve got the belief of your individuals — they’ll undergo battles for you.
Tom McManus
Little question. That’s nice.
