Week 9 - Leadership and Ethics

This week there were some good videos and articles as usual. One thing that stuck out to me was Levinson’s video about ethical practices and being moral. He says they hire “nice people” which I thought was kind of funny. But then he went on and told the audience that they had just accepted returns, no questions and just replaced things for their customers. Being a business major, that thought intrigued me and then he drops the golden nugget. “The whole goal of business is to weld customers to you and part of what does that is just treating them as you'd like to be treated or more.”

We talked about treating others as they would want to be treated today when talking about stellar customer service. We talked about how treating them as they want to be treated is very important because it takes you out of the equation. You are not important in the interaction because it’s all about your customer.

In my side work, I need to remember that sometimes, the end result is more important than the time, even when it hurts a little bit. I also need to remember that my $500 client will never be my $5000 client. Just food for thought.


Until next week.
