One day, I let the rabbits out to enjoy a little freedom in the garden. But, when I put them down, they hopped right back in the hutch.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I had taken over a call center team at the time. The rabbits&#8217; behavior resembled my team&#8217;s. The hutch represented all the constraints built up in the call center culture. The team were much more comfortable hanging out in these constraints than finding a way to do more for customers.<span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It fell to me to change the culture. Over time, my call center team were hopping throughout the garden of customer centricity, but it required focus and effort on both our parts.<span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, we explore the role of leadership in Customer Experience and the 5 Rules guaranteed to increase your effectiveness as a leader.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few key moments in the discussion:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>07:18<span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong> We start off the rules with an essential one about self-awareness; how you project yourself in your head does not always translate to the perception of your leadership by your team.<span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>11:26<span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong> Colin introduces rule number two, which explains that you have to understand that you do not need to be the cleverest to be the leader.<\/li>\n<li><strong>16:54<span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong> We discuss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/New-One-Minute-Manager-Manager-updated\/dp\/8172234996\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18D4N8FD6PKNX&amp;keywords=the+one+minute+manager&amp;qid=1671091318&amp;sprefix=the+one+minute+manager,aps,210&amp;sr=8-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <em>The One Minute Manager<\/em><\/a>, by Ken Blanchard, which emphasizes where your followers are and how ready they are to follow your lead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>20:49 <span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong> Colin refers to one of his favorite leadership aphorisms, &#8220;None of us is as clever as all of us,&#8221; which speaks to leveraging the strengths of the team to create a better output rather than serving in despotic rule.<\/li>\n<li><strong>26:10<span class= \"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong> Colin emphasizes ensuring you maintain the critical individual relationships with team members that are necessary to your team&#8217;s culture, a critical concept in Ken Blanchard&#8217;s follow up book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/One-Minute-Manager-Meets-Monkey\/dp\/0688103804\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2LQGA50UWPQGK&amp;keywords=one+minute+manager+meets+the+monkey&amp;qid=1671091973&amp;sprefix=one+minute+manager+meets+the+monkey,aps,163&amp;sr=8-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <em>The One Minute Manager Meets the Monkey.<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>28:36<\/strong> We round out the rules with a crucial part of leadership, loyalty, which goes both ways but starts with the leader.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Did you know we have a YouTube Channel too?<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Nn9KBQ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>Check it out here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Customer Experience Information &#038; Resources<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>LinkedIn recognizes&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3lfmiMy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Colin Shaw&nbsp;<\/a><em>as one of the &#8216;World&#8217;s Top 150 Business Influencers.&#8217; As a result, he has 290,000 followers of his work.
