Chris Dawson has been on the job for only 7 months but has been busy rounding out his C-suite with growth-minded leaders.
Chris Dawson has only been CEO of Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux since last June. But the chief executive — who previously was a group president at Driven Brands, a collection of automotive service franchises — has already made a huge impact on the sports-bar franchise, assembling a C-suite of leaders who can help Walk-On’s tap into its massive potential.
Dawson joined the latest episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches to discuss how restaurant companies can build a leadership team that supports franchise growth and what he learned from several years spent as an executive in the automotive industry.
In this conversation, you’ll learn more about why:
Developing your culinary team is just as important as that of other departments
The “all things to all people” approach isn’t dead yet
If you beat customer expectations, you’ll win their loyalty
Data is instrumental to moving a business forward
A franchisor cannot take lightly the impact they have on franchisees’ livelihoods
The best leadership team is one that has extensive experience in problem solving
Your leaders will give you 100% professionally if you nurture them personally
