The Customer Confidential Podcast
Want to Empower Employees? Start by Letting Go
Good things happen when you hire the right people and set the right expectations, says former Disney executive Lee Cockerell.
How do you get the best out of employees? Scripted interactions and oppressive rules are never the answer.
