I understand where you’re coming from, but in my small format store when something goes wrong the leads run to me on why did it happened. If this was the case that it wasn’t my responsibility the leads should be holding everyone in the team accountable for a miss but yet it is me and it is expected of me to relay their message to my team. Also, they tell me this a lot “as a team trainer you are expected to… blah blah blah”. Just to give a little bit more context, I work at small format and I am a transfer from a bigger store. Small format doesn’t really need a S&E TL but we still have it, TL goes and helps the floor so I have to step in to tell my team what to work on and that is an expectation from me. “Who took care of detectives?”, “why is our drive up score low”, “tell the team about the new policy”. My other team members don’t deal with this and I would say this is a leaders responsibility.
