The issue with this plan is that only certain stores will get this help/experience with Corporate folks. THD HQ is in Atlanta, so basically the Atlanta stores will receive all the help. They aren't sending employees out across the country.. just a thought.
Now, THAT would be a productive way for a visit to go! If only they might stumble across this article and actually make those visits helpful to all concerned.
its not really about the help each store receives in my opinion, sure its great that you have another hand with throwing bags of mulch into the back of a landscapers trailer but for each executive to see what it takes for all outdoor lawn and garden associates to get the job done.

Huge co-sign to this! Our execs show up on what are akin to state sponsored visits; everything has been deep cleaned, equipment is exactly where it's supposed to be, the tour makes sure to avoid any malcontents etc.
A real leader shows up at 9 PM on a Tuesday, or 5 AM on some random winter morning. Unannounced.
