Top 3 Value Bombs
1. You are winning with culture if there is a lot of conversation, healthy conflict and continuous improvement day in and day out.
2. Sometime we forget that our customer satisfaction can’t be higher than our internal customers satisfaction. Employee engagement drives the customers engagement and that can get lost sometimes which is an important factor.
3. Autonomy is about empowering others and giving them your trust. The gift of autonomy is letting others speak.
