Sometimes, work

Some Disney name tags. This was five years before my 30th Disney ‘Years of Service’ pin.

Sometimes?

Yes, sometimes.

Why?

Because sometimes you wake up one day and find yourself at the end of an incredible, world-class, three-decade run of world-class customer service leadership.

Always, work

Disney Keynote Speakers
Just do it. Let it become a deeply-embedded habit so you no longer are conscious of .thinking .differently

Always?

Huh?

Always what?

Context please.

Ok.

Always .think .differently

Never, work

A $3 poster provided a visual for the dream in my head (and heart)…for Cheryl and me to become parents.

Never?

Huh?

Never what?

Context please.

Ok.

Never stop having fun.

One of us is wrong, and it’s not me (right?)

Classic “can’t see the forest for the trees” dilemma?

 

One of us is wrong, and it’s not me (right?). Conflict and adversity are an everyday part of business life.

For one, profit is the goal.

For the other, the reward.

How do they meet in the middle?

As soon as I tell you your wrong, you fight back even harder.

And likewise when you tell me I’m wrong.

Who, and what, gives… that is the question.

No easy answer, but we must lead with a balanced score card – how will any decision affect the finances, customers, and employees?

A great cost saver may unduly pressure employees, or negatively raise the customer’s hassle factor.

A helpful, nice to have, employee service may require money needed for key business drivers.

Great customer service may provide five-star service to a few at the expense of the general population.

These daily challenges are either the spice of life, or the bane of our existence.

Nuwanda worked at a Fortune 500 company for 13 years before he requested the last week of the year off. He didn’t get it. Why wait so long? Because he knew when signing up, the work ethic was the customer comes first – “we are at our busiest on nights, weekends and holidays”.

If you are working today, my Christmas wish for you is that you work for a leader who trusts, respects, and develops you.
