Salon Management
The Process-Focused Leader
SMALL TALK was anathema to Marilyn Ihloff, until she realized it got more attention than a diatribe on numbers. That was 10 years ago, just before she discovered the 4MAT system though her association with O’Neill-Blackwell and followed through with inyu training and workshops.
The People-Focused Leader
FOR FOUR YEARS, Wendy White-McCown ran her salon on gut feelings. She listened to others, “read” their needs and frequently struggled with ways to avoid hurting others’ feelings. Through intuition and force of personality, she grew her staff to 15 members. Then she realized, everything had changed.
What's Your Leadership Style?
It’s common for most of your clients to be similar to you in age, taste and lifestyle. But if your entire team is just like you—with the same abilities and leadership style—your business could be stymied. Jeanine O’Neill-Blackwell, founder of inyu training in Covington, Louisiana (an online training resource for salons and spas), has been coaching corporate and salon professionals for decades. Using the renowned 4MAT Learning Type Measure, which determines leadership styles, she has assessed thousands of industry professionals. She says more than 65 percent of salon pros are 4MAT Types 3 or 4, while 65 percent of spa pros are Types 1 and 2. In short, most salons need more data-driven personalities who will bring structure, work the numbers and use systems to boost productivity.
