Guests would take priority over a visit so my guess is the visiting business partner would allow the leader to handle the situation and then once everything has been completed, and provided everyone involved is okay, they'd go on with the visit. I've never seen it happen but I'm sure it's...

@Inboundbeast im with you. My team knows that when I they close with me I’m extremely thorough. I don’t keep them long but sometimes they wait a few extra minutes (I work at a small format so I don’t have a lot of ground to cover). They also know I want the team to walk out together (our store...

Take. Your. Time. when you take the test. Our "class" is a bunch of online modules. You take a practice test to get access to register for the real one. We took our test at our district office wth the District admin. as the proctor. Pay attetion to Temperature Controlled Foods, as there are...

It wouldn't surprise me if they held people back -- as others have said your store's circumstance definitely makes it less likely a transfer would happen. Remodels often take a long time (3 months typically) and that is when your store is going to need the seasoned leadership to help the team...

As a Small Format store there are only so many places we can look, and for the most part our team has gotten pretty good about checking the "usual spots" and looking at the last known before they call me. But with small format stores comes a lower volume of orders so sometimes one or two units...

People have said it already but don't go for a transfer solely because of a toxic work environment. Yes, 100% it sucks and I've had to deal with it myself. Every store has its good points and bad points, too so you run the risk of leaving one toxic environment for another. With "today's...

Not if it's the sliding, one door entrance and there is no dedicated TM entrance. Our store has one way in, one way out so myself, or a closing expert has to wait to let TMs and guests out of the building (and stand guard so no one comes in). Once that happens I can lock the door and secure...

I had a similar issue. When I was training to be a Small Format TL I went from 18 years in one store doing pretty much everything (both as a leader and a TM), so there wasn't much I didn't know going into it, even the person who was my assigned trainer kind of scoffed because she didn't feel...

@GSTL2019 I am a Target Express TL. If you want to ask me anything specific, feel free to PM me! I'd be happy to answer your questions!

I'm in a small format so I'm the only closing leader. I cant be in the building by myself so there's always someone with me, and the ones who close with me are already used to my being neurotic, so there's that. My routines are solidifying, and I tend to take pictures of everything. So I guess...

I actually do that. It's a trick my training store gave me. The interior stuff isn't the issue it's the exterior. Our store doesn't have a dedicated TM entrance so we have to use the front door. I'm always nervous I forget to lock it when we are leaving, when in reality I'm so conditioned to...

Hi all - been a long while since I posted something. Just a question. When you became Sr. TL or ETL and began having to lock the building at night, how long did it take before you didn't second guess yourself or not feel anxious about forgetting stuff? It's been 5 months and I'm still neurotic...

I have a key hook at home already so there's that, but I also have a tendency when I return home from anything to just toss my keys on the first surface I see. I'm trying to break myself of that habit now that I have the store keys but I'm sure it will happen from time to time. I like the...

Thanks!! I just ordered myself a Tile (planned to do that but your advice sealed the deal). My problem is I am such a crazy person in the morning that if I don't attach them to my car keys I will definitely forget them, and I don't always go home after work if I have errands to run so I am...

Hello all - so this week we finally moved into our store and I was finally issued store keys. It was exciting and nerve wracking to say the least (keys have been my biggest anxiety point). My question is what does one typically do with their keys once they have left the building, and also how...

2 GSTLs and 4 GSAs.

Given that you are coming from the outside into a semi leadership position I give you props. I had to train a GSA who came from another company who turned out to be a disaster (she was let go) because she wouldn't take the time to learn anything. Her demeanor also wasn't the greatest so that...

Thank you!! One of the other new small format stores that is opening soon is having their plan-o-rama next month and the leadership team of my new store has been asked to participate. It will be the first time I meet all of the other Sr. TLs that will be with me in my new store. Hopefully I...

Not sure, as I said I don't know much and I haven't looked to see if there is an actual learning plan on the training site. My current STL said three months. I have known since November that I was moving but there were building issues so the opening of the new store isn't until later this...

Hello all - so I recently got promoted to a Sr. TL in a new small format store that will be opening soon. I am not yet out of my old store, don't know where I will be going to train (I really haven't been told much but I am sure as Q4 winds down I will be hearing more). Here is where I need...
