While flying Southwest airlines back from training in Houston, Texas I had a layover in Chicago which lasted three hours and then some. The flight didn't have a plane so they had to find a plane and our flight was delayed. Then the plane they found had too much fuel so then they had to take some of the fuel out. Then they moved us to another gate. I went to go eat dinner after checking with the gate agent and they said I had time to go eat. They never announced the plane came in and they boarded the plane. I was one of the last two people to board the plane and when I talked to the lady at the desk who I just checked with 15 minutes prior before I went to eat and she said "oh well." That flight had a six hour layover I had lunch and dinner at the same restaurant while I was waiting at the gate area. And this desk agent took no ownership, made no announcement, and didn't apologize. Learn how to deal with customers, own the situation, and handle the situation. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. How good are you at receiving training and coaching? Step up your game, step up your training or lower your expectations.

I will never forget My dad going to lunch with me in the cafeteria my first day in college after checking in to the dorms. He told me to look around and watch people eating and to observe others. He reiterated the dinner table manners that I grew up with for my 18 years. Having class and having manners is best received from your parents and passed down from generation to generation. It can't be bought, but is learned behaviors from those before us. Plus they are the right thing to do and they model the way for others. What five behaviors are critical to winning? So in your specific industry, what five behaviors must you have to be a winner? Take time to figure out what they are and write them down. Any that you have is awesome, but any that are missing, work towards gaining so you too can win versus losing. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. |
