McGrath Emerging Leaders Featured in Automotive News!

August 18, 2016 By Jeff Reiners

McGrath’s Emerging Leaders has proven to be a trend-setter and now has been recognized by Automotive News!

The Emerging Leaders Program aims to identify non-management employees and teach them McGrath-style leadership skill while gauging an individual’s best place to succeed. The innovative approach to building a trustworthy dealership relies on four pillars:

  1. Customer Service
  2. Communication
  3. Corporate Operations
  4. Competitive Greatness

Any one of those catch your eye?

Automotive News spotted “Competitive Greatness” and asked Pat McGrath how he improves that area of his dealership. For guidance on competitive greatness, McGrath turns to none other than wrestling legend and head coach of the University of Iowa wrestling team….Tom Brands!

Pat McGrath calls Brands “an extreme of competitive greatness” and values Brands impact as a motivational speaker.

Those are just a few anecdotes that Automotive News used to portray the McGrath Family of Dealerships. To read more, head on over to Automotive News yourself and enjoy their revealing article.
