A Culture of Excellence
How to create a “flock of Eagles”
Birds of a Feather…
• Eagles – Sour high, model of strength and superiority. Dependable & Productive
• Doves – Able to fly at a moderate altitude. Learning to sour. Potential Eagles.
• Turkeys – Unable to get off the ground to make a difference, relatively un-teachable, unmotivated
3 Ways to handle a Turkey
• Don’t hire them (implement better screening)
• Un-hire them (don’t compromise the rest of the staff) making you the hero of the staff!
• Hire them, allow them to stay on your staff and bring your standards, morality, production and customer service down, making you look kinda retarded or at least like a mildly disillusioned beatnik.
Have you ever had an employee come into work and say…
“Who’s am I closing with tonight?”
3 Typical Responses…
• Sweet!
• Uh, OK
• Crap!

How to develop a “Flock of Eagles”
• Identify – What type of birds do you have working in your store?
• Perfect (Train)– Are they teachable, motivated and talented? Can they become an Eagle?
• Or
• Dismiss – Turkeys need to be “Un-hired”. If not, prepare to lose your Eagles and Doves.

What obstacles do you have to overcome to have an Eagle staff?
Holding onto the Turkeys:•“I really like her, I can’t let her go”•“I don’t like to have to start over and waste all that training time”•“I know that he will get better, it’s just going to take some
more time.”
Having no one to replace the Turkeys:•“I don’t have time to interview”•“I don’t like anyone I have interviewed. They all suck!”•“It doesn’t matter, they are all going to let me down at some point”
What principles are necessary to have an Eagle staff?
Never hold onto Turkeys:•“I refuse to have a Turkey representing my store”•“I would rather waste a little training time than have excessive
Turkey time bringing down the rest of the crew and making me look bad”
•“If it quacks like a duck walks like a duck... It must be a Turkey”•“I care to much for my Eagles to subject them to Turkish behavior”
There is always someone to replace the Turkeys:•“I am never too busy to invest in future success”•“I know I will find the right person if I am persistent”•“The wrong people will always let you down”
