It turns out that the service ticket had been created incorrectly, so the wrong type of service person was sent to fix the issue. Unfortunately, the incorrect service person had been sent to their home before. He felt badly about the […]

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.
