Are you experiencing bad customer experiences?

 

Is it just me? Or are others experiencing poor customer experiences with their retailers and service providers? I find that many employees at retail and service enterprises are not performing their jobs with the same excitement and enthusiasm that they have had in the past, before the pandemic. I get it.

There’s Nothing Wrong With The Past - Unless We Live There

Our view of the world is shaped by the sum of our experiences, relationships, and the values and beliefs we learned from our families and friends. So are we simply victims of our past, or can we reshape the lens through which we see the world? Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, either way you’re right.” I would suggest that this quote represents how effective leaders deal with their past to increase their ability to lead, influence and engage others.
