Values Matter [Creating Impactful Business Relationships]

  • Summary

  • "Can I have a salad with feta on the side?" Sounds familiar, right? But what happens when your order is wrong, and the service is poor?

    [Why This Is Important] The main message is to become a person worth listening to so you can handle tricky situations with grace and empathy. When faced with disappointing service, it's crucial to understand the values of the organization, the employee's situation, and our own role in the interaction.

    [What you need to know] In this episode, we discussed the impact of poor service and the values of an organization on our experiences. We touched on the dynamics of frontline service jobs, the responsibility of consumers, and the distinction between individual behavior and systemic issues.

    [What you need to do]

    1. Reflect on your own expectations and behaviors when facing poor service.
    2. Consider the values and systems in place within the organization that may affect employee behavior.
    3. Practice empathy and kindness towards service staff, recognizing the challenges they may be facing.
    4. Assess your role and responsibility as a consumer in problematic situations.

    [TAKE ACTION] The next time you encounter disappointing service, take a moment to understand the situation from the employee's perspective and respond with empathy and kindness.
