Now, I’d like to dive deeper into customer experience and the role everyone in your organization plays in delivering that experience. You heard me right: not one department owns the customer experience—it’s every department! I often talk about customer experience lying at the intersection of communications, operations, technology, and employees.

The only reason a business hires someone is that they have a job that needs to be done and they need someone to do it. If they hire you, you get paid for your efforts. You are not promised lifetime employment, nor do you need to offer it to them. There is mutual agreement of cooperation on both sides created by the efforts of each. A business can and will dictate work rules and responsibilities.

Imagine doing a research study on the experience of driving a car, but all the participants are exclusively motorcycle users; inevitably the results will be useless for the research we aimed for. This type of error that occurs when conducting a research study with a poor selection of participants is known as sampling bias , and can be prevented by always selecting participants at random and from different contexts.

Several days ago, I was told that the counter person did not want to say, “How may I serve you?” “I’m not a servant,” she said. She already had an attitude that disdained servitude. To her, servitude meant slavery, having no liberty to determine one’s own way of life. Servitude is having no freedom, consigned to a lifetime of misery and boredom. Service is not servitude.
