Book excerpt: The speed with which consumers make choices will be faster than in the last two decades, making the predictability of the right strategic direction even more challenging. The business world is evolving at an unprecedented pace with a sputtering economy, the advancement of technology, and disruptive competitive forces. All are re-writing the rules of customer engagement.

The boards and owners that oversee these organizations need to respond more swiftly to the decision-making of management. The one industry that faces the greatest challenge is the retail sector, where staying relevant has always been difficult and longevity of retail brands is something that is not easily achieved.

The Last Retailer Standing is a book that establishes what organizations need to address in order to remain competitive for the long-term.
Download or read book Retail Leadership Road to Success written by Ken Haines and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Franklin said "If you are finished changing, you are finished." This is a profound statement. I believe Mr. Franklin is saying that to be relevant, you must constantly evolve and change with the times or you will be passed by. In business, specifically retail, this has never been more true than in today's environment with the constant modifications in technology; the speed of communication; the daily movements in the economy; and the variation in customer's buying preferences locally as well as globally. In looking at the retail industry over the past 10-15 years, retail chains such as Circuit City, Ames, Montgomery Ward, Hechinger, and Builders Square are prime examples of companies who were leaders in their respected field. However, due to their lack of evolving to their changes in their surrounding business landscape, these businesses are no longer relevant. There are also retailers who are struggling to survive at best; and we observe them daily declining in customer count and reporting quarter after quarter losses to Wall Street. There is one common factor that all of these companies have: failure to adapt at the leadership level to have vision and courage to transform to what the market currently demands. My objective with this book is to help you find your road to success by excelling as a leader; understanding your business and your market; learning to understand your customers; learning to understand your employees; and surpassing the competition.

Not the solid structural type you drive your car over but the type you walk across to get to the other side. They are typically placed in jungle scenes that have wooden planks to walk on and ropes on both sides to use as a guide rail. They are usually connecting the two sides of a mountain because of a huge drop. They also are characteristically missing planks and some fall as you walk or run across them. It is with much trepidation that you cross because you never know if the bridge will fail or you will fall through the planks. This is the bridge to retail leadership. Crossing The Retail Leadership Bridge requires a balancing act of developing people and accountability. The bridge consists of: 1.Living the Vision 2.Connecting & Valuing People 3.Leading Managers 4.Culture, Morale & Development 5.Change & the Whole System 6.Embracing & Respecting Customers 7.Reflection 8.Guard Your Words & Actions Take this introspective journey to unlock your talents and skills.
