He believes that a company is only as good as its people and the way its people treat customers. With the goal of inspiring his own team to reach for that high customer-service bar, Greg explains his approach in this way: “I’m a coach, I’m a mentor, and I appropriate the resources my team needs to be rock stars.” ----more---- The guys then segue into a conversation about the importance of bringing employees in on the reasoning behind what they are being asked to do.
