It takes 2 years to develop a Store Manager into a District Manager. Due to this, most companies choose to hire outside for the role.
One of the greatest joys is seeing people be promoted to District Manager. It's a life-changing opportunity that often leads to further promotions. VP, Owners, and CEO many started as Store Managers.
There will be mistakes in the first year, but after year 2, that’s where the magic begins. A loyal, dedicated, culture-aligned employee leading others.
What that does do to the culture and work ethic of all your employees is unmeasurable.
Chances are someone at one of your facilities has the ability to do amazing things they just need a chance and someone to start them down the path.
