How many times has this happened to you?

You've been heading to a McDonald’s, excited about getting an ice cream cone. You get there, place your order in the Drive-Thru, and then discover that the machine is broken?

If that's happened to you, you're not alone. But here's the deal - we ALL create "ice cream machine" experiences for our customers and partners from time-to-time. They come to us for that ONE THING, and we fail to deliver for them.

And when that's the case, it all comes down to leadership. Our leadership.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

It all comes down to leadership.We need to understand what our customers and partners value most.We need to understand when we’re missing the mark, and make changes to correct.
