Spotlight on OUR EMPLOYEES Nominate yourself or a coworker to be featured as an Employee Spotlight by visiting www.LHMWSM.com/spotlights. At the recent Who We Are broadcast, we learned how important it is that we continue to not just know the values of the LHM Group of Companies, but also to live them every day, whether we are at work or not. The following employee spotlights are two individuals recently featured in Who We Are and at Leadership Conference as people who have truly exemplified the values. Cesar Castaneda LHM Chrysler Jeep Avondale Cesar was featured last year on “What Would You Do” produced by ABC News. In the segment, a woman with two children was in an ice cream parlor in the Phoenix area. The woman told one of her children that because he was her biological child, he could have anything he wanted. She told the other child that because she was a foster child, she could only select the cheapest items. This scenario was staged, but Cesar didn’t know that, and offered to pay for anything the foster child wanted. He later gave her some cash and told her that things would get better before the setup was revealed by the show’s host. HOW WOULD YOU SPEND YOUR IDEAL DAY OFF? Cesar’s noble act earned him a lot of praise, but it hasn’t gone to his head. In his day-to-day life, Cesar is a CRC manager at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Avondale. While he’s only been at that dealership for about a year, he has worked for the LHM Group for five years. When he isn’t at work, he spends time with his four children.
