"The pay is good. To be honest, I really don't work there for the money anymore; I work simply because I like being there with other people. Our store operators are very generous. They are husband and wife, and for every special event there is, they try to do something nice. For example, today, they are taking recent college graduates out to a nice dinner (which I am about to leave for)."

Job Summary 

In order to advance to a Director position in our organization, you must be able to handle complex operational and people problems. Being a Director in our store means taking on full responsibility and ownership for your area of the business. This person must act autonomously to advance the business.

Outcomes

• A Director reports weekly during the director meeting what has been accomplished in their area of the business

• A Director makes significant contributions to the efficiency and effectiveness of operations in our business

• A Director coaches and delegates responsibilities to the staff in their care.

Competencies

• Emotional Self-Awareness

  • Being aware of your own emotions and how they impact your actions offers a strong platform for leading yourself. In shared leadership such self-awareness allows you to recognize how your colleagues’ actions impact you.

• Emotional Self-Control

  • Once you’re aware of your emotions, you can better manage what you do with them. Self-control allows you to pause before responding. You may feel angry at the actions of your co-leader or frustrated with their perspective. Self-control helps you choose whether or how to express those feelings with skill.

• Adaptability

  • When you’re sharing leadership, it helps to be able to adapt to styles and strategies that may be different from what you would do if you were leading on your own. Adaptability means that you can remain focused on the goal while remaining flexible in what tactics you use to achieve that goal.

• Empathy

  • While self-awareness allows you to understand your own feelings, empathy shines a light on your co-leaders’ perspective. So often, in shared leadership situations we have to coordinate with someone we don’t know well. Empathy allows you to understand your co-leaders’ feelings and how their background impacts their perspective.

• Organizational Awareness

  • Leaders always need to recognize the big picture of their organization and its culture and power relationships, as well as what’s going on between its parts. Shared leadership situations, especially those that cross-organization or division boundaries, require that the leaders understand the dynamics within and between each organization or division

• Conflict Management

  • Conflict is a given in all work settings and seems inevitable when two or more people share leadership. To be effective in their collaboration, leaders need to be skilled at acknowledging and understanding different perspectives, and capable of finding common ground.
