Strategic Sense Inc. - Leadership, Plans of Action, Facilitation When I describe what we do at Strategic Sense, it is facinating how many folks want to tell horror stories of their experiences with leaders, yet at no time in history has there been more information and resources for leadership development! Where is the disconnect between leadership and the employee experience?

The employee experience is inextricably linked to the customer experience. In a commoditized business world the customer experience has become the real business differentiator. Transformational Leadership is not an option but a requirement for survival. Using rationale to get traditional business leaders to understand does not work. Those of us in this field need to tell better stories to leadership. What do you think ? Am I off my rocker? :):)

You are not off your rocker at all - I agree - we are not talking about compartmentalized coaching here, or a different marketing strategy. We are talking about a fundamental change in management and leadership behaviour to match the trends and environment in which businesses are immersed. Gen Y employees who want to add value, be part of making ... Read Morea difference in the world. Smart, educated customers who want to know when they spend they are spending it with an organization who values their investment and cares about the concerns of individuals and the world around them. We are talking about a complete shift in HOW we do business, HOW we lead the people and WHO we are as a company connected to the community and globe around us. A company who maintains an industrialized approach to business will slowly watch the spreadsheet become their worst enemy.

Strategic Sense Inc. - Leadership, Plans of Action, Facilitation After 17 days away from work (save for a conference) and thousands of miles of driving through trees, near the ocean then inland to some remarkable scenery - I've a whole new kind of energy - when was the last time you took a real holiday without work? Did the world fall apart? Vacating from your routine is not something you ADD to your workload but is meant to be a break - remember to take it!

I love that it is a gift you give to your employees! I like to insist an employ be completely unavailable while on vacation, being present to their families and loved ones, or even to recreation is vital to their health!

Strategic Sense Inc. - Leadership, Plans of Action, Facilitation Walked into a shop in Scottsdale, AZ today - the staff were spectacular, trained well, cared about the customer, went the extra mile to call around for something and continually asked how I was doing. Friendly, helpful, caring and creating an experience that has me wanting to return! Customer Service, when it rocks, it shines!

Strategic Sense Inc. - Leadership, Plans of Action, Facilitation It's been a while since I "left the office to see the world" and it is highly advised. Keeping our 'blinders on' limits what we see and the possibilities of what we can create. The workd outside your office is quite remarkable - give it a test run, make plans for a retreat next weekend - if even for a small drive!

Strategic Sense Inc. - Leadership, Plans of Action, Facilitation When You Lose Your Patience - (I did, yesterday, and I was not graceful in it), remember you are human and it happens. Dealing with the fallout is a Leaders' job - not pretending it didn't happen. Face your team and/or loved ones and apologize, admit the mistake and be real! Then get on with it! Have a Great Hallowe'en this weekend, folks!

Great training of your front-line staff is always apparent to the customer. (So is poor training) - Take action to create the best customer experience possible!
