New Season Starts Today - Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy Podcast!
"Retail Leaders, Are We Overcomplicating the Basics?"
Somewhere along the way, retail leadership became more about managing complexity than mastering execution.
Stockouts, poor communication, broken systems, none of these are new problems. Yet, instead of fixing them at the root, companies keep layering on more tech, more meetings, more processes - when what they really need is more common sense.
Retail brands thrive on customer loyalty and loyalty starts with great experiences.
That’s exactly what Walter Holbrook, from Yoda Retail and ReThink Retail Expert calls out in the first episode of our new season of Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy.
With 60+ years in retail, he’s seen the industry shift from a hands-on, solution-driven culture to one bogged down by inefficiencies and avoidable friction.
Watch on YouTube or listen to it here:
In this conversation, Walter doesn’t just highlight what’s broken; he gives leaders real strategies to help their teams lead more effectively.
We go deep on:
🔵 Why stockouts aren’t just a supply chain problem, they’re a leadership failure.
🔵 How corporate and stores are still speaking two different languages, and how to fix it.
🔵 Why “friction” isn’t the enemy, it’s a sign that something needs to change.
🔵 How career growth in retail is being mismanaged, and what leaders can do differently.
