Andy Bizub from Midwest Performance Car, Chicago, shares his perspective on tool programs in his shop. Andy also discusses his experience at Jocko Willink’s ‘Echelon Front’ Muster conference that he is sending his people to and why it is ‘next level’ training.

Key Talking Points
Tool purchase/reimbursement/credit program is a retention tool for the shop
Interest-free "loans" to techs for tool purchases are effectively zero net cost
Having the tech buy their own tools through your program keeps them invested in themselves, their career, and in the shop
Payback through hour deductions has to comply with minimum wage laws.
EVERYONE in your organization can have the opportunity to lead in some way, to the great benefit of the whole organization- http://echelonfront.com (echelonfront.com),
Leadership can be taught and coached
Leadership involves subordinating your ego. It's not about "my way or the highway"
Enthusiasm for the future- Teslas and EVs are an opportunity and not a threat
Get your employees in the mindset that they are able to lead in their areas of expertise
