In this episode of the LIFT Your Shop Podcast, we sit down with Josh Bird from Bird Automotive to discuss the vital lessons he's learned on time management, delegation, and leadership as an auto repair shop owner. With two successful locations in Blue Springs and Oak Grove, Missouri, Josh shares his journey from being a GM Master Technician to managing and growing a thriving business.
He dives into the challenges of transitioning from a hands-on technician to a full-time leader, the process of letting go and allowing his team to take on more responsibility, and how failure became a stepping stone for continuous improvement. Josh's insights into leadership, employee growth, and the importance of developing systems and processes are invaluable for any shop owner looking to scale their business.
Tune in to hear how Josh learned to navigate the ups and downs of running multiple shops, the importance of trusting your team, and why stepping away can often lead to better results than being hands-on.
