Lessons Learned
Posted by: Jim Shulkin

I recently read an excellent post on Peter Bregman's How We Work HBP blog that made a lot of sense to me on multiple dimensions. 

  • Create an opportunity to fulfill a commitment, even when one doesn't naturally exist, and then fulfill it, not just once but always. 
  • More often than not, the secret to customer loyalty lies in the little things that you can generate across the customers' experience of your product or service. 
  • A complete picture of the experience life cycle cannot be gained by looking at just numbers.  It involves contribution from across your workforce - thus making it harder to implement and impossible to copy & replicate too - thus a sustainable competitive advantage.
  • Not only did the GM consider it an honor to work for the Four Seasons, he considers it an honor to work with his employees.  Really.

Lessons learned.

Such excellent business standards come from CEO's who are committed to their company and industry, as opposed to many of today's CEO's that are simply at the helm for a limited time. In the vast majority of cases, these "in transition" CEO's are simply there to extract as much cash as they can before moving on to a different company to do the same thing. Putting your reputation and principles before your wallet lead to long term growth and success. Perhaps I am the eternal pessimist, but unfortunately this is sorely lacking in today's management world. I commend "Issy" for this attitude and commitment to excellence
