Top 3 customer service priorities?

Apple: It just works. Disney: Make people happy.

A leader and a direct report are paired and each has a Post-it note. The leader writes the top three customer service priorities she expects of her direct report. And the direct report writes the top three customer service priorities she thinks the leader expects from her.

What are the odds the lists match?

Leadership accountability challenges

On our (Disney) Eastern border, we head North toward Magic Kingdom to go home.

Leadership accountability challenges are common.

Why?

Lack of clarity.

If i asked you and your boss to each grab a post-it note and privately write down your top three work priorities, would your list match your boss’s?

What if the two post-it note lists matched?

What’s to gain?

What if they don’t match?

What’s to lose?

Finally, do you have company-wide standard buckets of focus? For example, at Disney, we have Employee, Customer, and Business buckets. Everyone is crystal clear on this.

Additionally, we have a second level of company-wide leadership standard buckets: Technical, managerial, and behavioral accountabilities. How well do you perform your responsibilities? How well do you manage time, money, and resources? And how well do you demonstrate the desired leadership behaviors.

Critical to being a great leader is to be crystal clear and use simple, key, repeatable messages.

The world is crazy and we are busy enough with everything we are supposed to pay attention to.

Therefore, make the most important things habit.

Engrained.

Automatic.

Habit.

Non-negotiable.

Something worth defending.

Targeted with unspoken expectations for bailing someone out?

(photo: This doesn’t happen by magic, it happens by being responsible.)

Every person should learn to take control of their life.

If anyone lives in a paradigm thinking their child(ren), spouse, sibling, etc will take care of their poor choices in life ought to consider one thing.

What if something tragic happens to them first?

Then what.

Banking on traditional thinking or past practice is potentially deadly.

And wears on the ones targeted with unspoken expectations for bailing someone else out.
