For Manheim Orlando general manager Butch Herdegen, it’s all about leading by example.

“My motto is ‘speed of the boss equals speed of the crew,’” he said.

For his crew of 365 team members, Herdegen makes it a point to lead by example and to work with employees to understand each of their perspectives.

“We are all in this together, and every person plays a critical part in the process,” Herdegen said.

As general manager of the auction, which registers 6,200 vehicles a week, his goal is twofold: “Build trust and get the buy-in from every members of the team.”

That’s good for business, Herdegen said.

“When our team members are happy and engaged, they are more dedicated to serving our clients, which results in a loyal following. Happy people are productive people, which equates to successful results. The positive attitudes of our team members make doing business fun for our clients,” he said

As far as what makes his auction stand out, Herdegen cited the culture.

“We have a culture that embraces diversity, and promotes a team environment where everybody strives to be the best they can be. The team knows that they are completely supported by location leadership.

“This honor shows the dedication of our team, who each play a part in helping our clients drive success,” he continued. “Each team member is dedicated to providing our clients with the quality Manheim is known for while having fun in the process.”
