CompassCast Bo Davis

Episode 51 contains audio from the Founders Award Presentation that took place at the River Spirit Casino in Tulsa, OK on April 25th, 2018.
The Founders Award is an award we give out annually to the General Manager that went above and beyond the call of duty.  This award is about more than hitting numbers or financial targets.  This is about the spirit, the heart and soul of US Beef.  These men and women represent the very best of US Beef and each one is a true Compass Champion.
You'll hear each Director introduce their nominee and tell stories about their accomplishments.  Pay close attention to the level of Commitment, Humility, and Respect that each of the nominees showcased not only in 2017, but throughout their career. Truly an amazing accomplishment to be nominated and a very special moment for our overall winner.
I hope you enjoy this episode of CompassCast!

Another great US Beef success story...Josh Spotz (newly promoted Area Director) started as a team member and now he finds himself working side by side with his mentor and current Regional Director of Operations, Karen Lynch.  This dynamic duo has a challenging road ahead.  In a market that has had its share of struggles, we now look to Karen and Josh to get us back on track in Kansas City.  
In this episode, Josh walks us through his plans for the turnaround effort that is already underway.  He describes his early struggles as a District Manager and how a few chance encounters have shaped the way he leads today.   Also, Finish This Sentence makes its triumphant return to CompassCast.  Hope you enjoy!

Part 2 with Lekeia Tutt and April Pepiot.  We get some more details on their Washington project.  We discuss how Compass and Prime Choice have impacted their leadership journey at US Beef.  April tells us what it felt like to see Keia receive the Founders Award Nomination for R4 and Keia has some advice for US Beef leadership which leaves Bo speechless.  :)
Hope you enjoy Part 2!  
Cheers!

There is nothing little about the year these 2 ladies from Little Rock had in 2017.  In Part 1 of my interview with April Pepiot (District Manager) and Lekeia Tutt (General Manager), they walk us through the special projects they took on in 2017.  These ladies have a very tough job, so for them to volunteer and agree to take on more gives you a glimpse into the heart of these 2 Compass Champions.  From Washington (state), to Tulsa, and all over the state of Arkansas, these 2 have impacted so many employees and it's the effort and results from folks like Lekeia and April, that make US Beef what it is today.  
Hope you enjoy Part 1!  
Cheers!

Join us on I-40 East as Tim Bouma and I make our way to Little Rock. On the way we talk about our 2018 strategy. We discuss our new management model, the new hour,y manager positions, and our strong push toward improving our labor percent. 
Tim also provides some great advice for staying locked in for March. Historically, sales go up in March but we’ve seen our hospitality scores go down. He tells us why that is and how we can avoid that in 2018.
We wrap it up by discussing the regional General Managers meetings/awards, and, specifically, he shares his thoughts on the Founder’s Award. 
Hope you enjoy!
