2011 Aug | Volume 6, Issue 7: Failing Forward | | |
No-one is exempt – we all fail. The key to failing forwards rather than backwards lies in how we handle failures – even if they are not of your own making.

2011 Aug | Volume 6, Issue 7: The Starting Point: Delighting the Customer | | |
You take your car in for service. The service office is immaculately clean and resembles a hotel lobby.

You give him the keys, and he asks you Do, you mind if I go through our 12 Point Service Guarantee?

Its been one of those days - nothing has gone right, clients are complaining, people you rely on are making errors or forgetting tasks that they were quite capable of yesterday. A big new client may suddenly be going sour or your latest transformation effort causing additional issues rather than solving them. Regardless of how organised, competent or efficient you are, from time to time you will experience one of those days. Before running home to pour yourself the biggest glass of wine you have, lets consider for a moment how to stay motivated in an environment where nothing seems to be going right.
