Store time involves the management of people and process. You will need to learn how to co-ordinate tasks efficiently whilst motivating staff. Project work involves managing your own time to complete the projects set out for you by the directors. This can range from anything from maximising sales within stores to re-designing a task management system. Area Manager shadowing involves working alongside an experienced AM to learn how to oversee multiple stores.
