Article Idea I: How auto manufacturers work to affect dealership operations and succession — The relationship between auto manufacturer and dealership is complex and can often be adversarial. These partners share the common objectives of selling vehicles, providing excellent customer service, and retaining customers, but they often differ on how to achieve these and other key performance indicators. The manufacturer operates from a more global view of the marketplace, whereas the dealer has a “boots on the ground” perspective. As an attorney actively involved in dealership buy-sell negotiations, Stephen Dietrich can speak to how auto manufacturers work to affect dealership operations and succession, as well as global industrial trends and local dealership experiences that encourage and facilitate collaboration and improved outcomes for both parties.
Article Idea II: Understanding the Dynamics of Fear — Fear distorts one’s reality and stifles organizational creativity. It triggers interpersonal conflict and produces anxiety, which can contribute to individual disengagement. Left unchecked, it can paralyze an organization. Stephen Dietrich can bring you up to speed on the concept of fear dynamics, which would make for a great read in any business-focused magazine.
