Rather than speaking up when they see something wrong or have good suggestions, many employees feel that keeping their mouths shut is the best way to go. One of the reasons for being so tight-lipped can be attributed to a belief by employees that regardless of what they say, they feel they aren't powerful enough to actually make a difference, according to a new study to be published in the Personnel Psychology journal.

Jumping in with Both Feet

By Dave Kanicki and Scott Eisenhauer posted on June 1, 2014 | Posted in Dealer Succession

Barry Pollard — he’s the ‘P’ in P&K Equipment — probably took a big leap of faith when he hired me in 2006 to oversee his 4 John Deere dealerships in Oklahoma.

Overcoming Skepticism

By Farm Equipment Staff and Clint Schnoor posted on June 1, 2014 | Posted in Dealer Succession

Prior to coming to Agri-Service, I worked in operations for a very large mortgage banking and real estate company for several years. The founder of Agri-Service, Cleve Buttars, is my father-in-law and we compared notes regularly as his company grew and the company I worked for also grew considerably. We always talked about the opportunity for me to come and work for him. In fact, he recruited me on several occasions and I told him no quite a few times because I was happy with what I was doing.

So no, there wasn't any master plan for me to take over the dealership; I wasn't sure where my career would take me. The year we were married, my ex-husband started his veterinarian degree at Oklahoma State and I started my career in Target's management program.

Learning by Making Mistakes

By Dave Kanicki and Jason Huber posted on June 1, 2014 | Posted in Dealer Succession

I came back to the dealership a little over 2 years ago after working for Pace Distributing for 4 years. Working there was the best thing I could have done for myself. It was good to get away from the dealership for a while and, not only work for somebody else, but to learn from somebody else.
