My daughter Jenny Reichheld reminds us that financial accounting encourages short-termism and thwarts customer centricity. She asked me an important question: what should leaders be measuring to ensure their organization is treating customers right - so…lnkd.in/eBDH-8NQ

Just got this text from my daughter Jenny Reichheld: “First time I have flown on Delta for a very long time. Super experience. They have really upped their game.” The following article indicates that Delta Air Lines continues to s…lnkd.in/edpkyqen lnkd.in/eJbgV8A8
I was genuinely impressed by the innovative approach to NPS implemented by founder @ceoglenn at eXp World Holdings. Unlike traditional usage of NPS as a mere judgmental metric that often leads to bureaucratic theater, Sanford leverages it to foster an e…lnkd.in/e4duRmuD
