When I looked on Amazon to see how many books have been written on leadership, it said over 30,000.  On top of that there are countless speakers, conferences and membership organizations that profess to have the answer to the best type of leadership. But do they really?  Leadership, like culture is a never-ending journey. What type of information you need when you start a business is completely different from what you need when you get ready to exit.  In this episode I talk about some of the basic underlying fundamentals of effective leadership. These sometimes get lost in the detail of changing environments, but they affect everyone, in any position, at any point in time.

Laurie Guest is an award-winning customer service expert, Certified Speaking Professional and a good friend.  This overarching conversation looks at customer service from common sense to generational differences. Laurie believes that success comes from a deep understanding that everyone comes from a different background.  The more we understand the personalities of who we work with and respect those differences, customer service is enhanced.  

 

Laurie shares with us the 5 key attributes that create what common sense means to each of us:

  1. The environment you were raised
  2. What era you were born into
  3. The environment where you used to work
  4. Personality type
  5. Who you work next to today.
