    3 Sustains, 3 improves. When you hit them with the negatives first, it crushes a person and they won't hear your positive recommendations. Rather, start with what they are really doing well and they will be in a much better emotional position to hear your recommendations for improvement.

    What Technicians have heard about AI in the shop? If you haven't heard there is a new program out that will analyze how efficient the shop is by using cameras in the drive and also out in the shop. If there is a bottle neck in the service drive, getting parts or technicians not working efficiency this program will let you know. How would this help your current shop? How might this keep you on track?

    What I have heard is that companies are working hard to remedy the technician shortage by using AI powered equipment. I'm glad because the machines don't need sick days or family deaths or coffee breaks. They can be the perfect mechanic shop owners want without all the problematic human issues.
