A bad dream for those crafting online survey questionnaires might go as follows… Panel members take an online survey critiquing a previous online survey in which they participated, and one that you wrote. The results are overwhelmingly negative. The panel members hated the experience and admit they offered slapdash information that, as an effect, will actually hinder your research more than help. .

I’ll admit it I am fascinated by water. Not just any water…A very special water – the kind you find in a bottle.

I get a lot of “what a cool job!” when I describe what I do. It sounds so glamorous. And everyone is a customer, so of course I hear about the worst customer service they ever had, or less frequently, the very best they’ve experienced. It is awesome. I love what I do. But as the idea of customer experience takes off, the mythology around it does, too.

Having consulted with and written two books about Starbucks ( The Starbucks Experience and Leading the Starbucks Way ), I seldom compare Starbucks with McDonald’s.

About five years ago, we entered a discussion with a prospective client. They had been outsourcing their customer service to a call center with a predominantly “work-at-home” (WAH) model and one of the first questions they asked us was about work-at-home agents. They’d had a bad experience with that model and were keen to move as far away from any work-at-home solution as possible.

How satisfied your customer is can depend on a lot of things: your product, your customer support team, your marketing and advertising, your branding, their interactions in your store, your website, your in-store staff… the list goes on. Typically, businesses rely on customer satisfaction scores as an indicator of the total happiness of a set of customers – but this is flawed.

The case for giving employees autonomy in how to carry out their work has been backed up by psychological and management research for more than half a century. It may surprise you just how strong the case is—until you look in the mirror and think about what you would require to do great work face to face with customers every day. First off, people need a reason to wake up in the morning—and ‘‘they pay me’’ is hardly the ideal alarm clock.

We’ve talked before on this blog about the need to be a customer-focused CEO. But since CEOs are often the major decision-maker within an organization, it’s important to understand the decision-making styles of customer-focused CEOs. Because the C-Suite as a whole tends to make dozens (if not hundreds) of decisions in a given week, having an understanding on what specific decision-making styles make for leaders with a stronger customer focus is going to be helpful as you grow your own business.
