March certainly hasn’t bucked the trend on being busy and not knowing what to write about first.
At the end of February, as I mentioned in my last blog, I attended my first regional manager’s meeting. This generally happens within your store’s region with all Store and Assistant Manager’s- lead by the regional manager at an offsite. Ours was spread over 2 days and was a great platform for us to discuss things that were happening in the business right now, as well as hearing from many leaders in our business.
March also saw us launch our Autumn clothing and footwear range. This was the closest I have ever been to a season launch as I oversee the apparel and footwear team in my store. There was high expectations of us delivering a great launch as our store is considered the ‘store of excellence’ within our region for these categories, and a store that often trains other’s team members. The ladies did a great job and we have been rewarded by some great sales.
A solid couple of months in now and I feel like myself and my Store Manager are slowly aligning ourselves, especially in terms of setting expectations of not just me, but the manager’s that report into me also. I am also now feeling a lot more confident in the role and gaining that understanding of what life as an Assistant Manager in the The Warehouse involves. Something in the coming month’s blogs I will talk more about.
March is a short month for me, as near the end I am off to Rarotonga for a holiday, I look forward to sharing it when I get back!
