Customer Driven Leadership • A culture of self-winding teams which consistently delivers your promise to customers in a manner that accomplishes your vision
Imagine a business laser... • In a company where energy is focused on customers and profit drivers where everyone understands: • The vision • How to win • How to make decisions • How to make profit
Can 50 percent of all your employees clearly explain … …the vision of where you, the CEO, are taking the company? • What does your company look like in 15 years? • What markets will you be in? • What types of products and services will you offer? • What are you known for by the market? • What position do you own in the minds of the customers? • What is your relative size?
Can 50 percent of all your employees clearly explain … …the promise that your company makes to win customers? • Why should customers buy from you? • What do you offer that is unique? • What do you offer that others cannot? • What is your competitive advantage? • Can your employees explain in two sentences why customers would consider your company?
Can 50 percent of all your employees clearly explain … …the core values on which decisions should be made? • What rules do all employees use to: • Treat customers? • Treat other employees? • Design policies and procedures? • Formulate business deals? • Make purchasing decisions?
Can 50 percent of all your employees clearly explain … …how your company makes profit? • Are the elements of how your company makes a profit a secret? • Does each employee understand their impact on profitability?
Imagine the consequences when … • The majority of your employees… • Don’t know where the company is heading • Don’t know how the company wins customers • Don’t understand the core values that should be used to make decisions • Don’t know how they can contribute to profit • Is it any wonder why 8 out of 10 companies go out of business in their first 10 years….
Does your company operate like white light... • White light • All colors: Many wavelengths • Varying intensity: Spotty • Multitude of directions: Difficult to maintain focus • Are all your employees and departments on the same sheet of music and on the same note?
. . . or does your company operate like laser light? • Laser • Singular color, one wavelength: Coherent • Singular intensity: Uniformity • Singular direction: Inherently focused
What is more powerful? A) 100 watt light bulb B) 1,000,000 candle-power marine spot light C) .005 watt laser pointer
How to build a business laser with Customer Driven LeadershipTM • Step One: Business boundaries • Define the boundaries of your business so that your employees will be inherently focused while having the freedom to execute their assignments. (We call this the sandbox) • Boundaries must be... • Easy to communicate • Uniting (people must be able to get behind them) • Measurable
Vision Boundaries: Vision • Where are you going? • What does it look like in 15 years? • What markets? • What will you offer? • You’ll be known for...? • What position in the mind of the customer will you own? • What’s your size?
Boundaries: Promise • What do you do that is: • Unique? • A competitive advantage? • Simplify it in two sentences or less • Federal Express • When you absolutely, positively has to be there overnight • Little Caesars • Pizza, Pizza • Amazon.com • The largest bookstore on the planet Vision Promise
Boundaries: Core Values • What are the core values that your company will always base decisions on? • Examples: • Fanatic attention to serving customers, associates • Fanatic attention to efficiency • Moral-compass-based decisions Vision Promise Core Values
Boundaries: Profit How does your company make profit? • Profit = (hit rate x presence - cost of doing business) • Value chain analysis • Individual, personalized profit plans Vision Profit Promise Core Values
The Sandbox Vision Freedom to execute Promise Profit Core Values
How to build a business laser: Step two • Step two: Develop an organization chart with a service-oriented purpose to keep the laser focused! • The Purpose of the organizational chart:“To deliver the promise to the customer in a manner that can accomplish the vision while following core values and achieving profit goals.” • In essence, the organizational chart should support your value chain

Building a business laserStep 3: Creating the control system • Control system basics
Control loop: Set points • Determine Key customer careabouts (these are the process outputs which demonstrate internal and external customer service) • Determine Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)(these are the by-products of excellent processes operating within the business boundaries) • Vision KPI (possible examples) • Sales, Margin, Headcount • Promise • The most practical products, at almost-free prices, delivered by 11 a.m.
Control loop: Set points cont’d • Have each team (organization) breakdown how they contribute to the KPIs • Devise report cards to show how teams are affecting the KPI’s Process Variable through service to other teams and paying customers • Reward performance to eliminate the error term
Control loop:Team set points • Have each team breaks down how they contribute to the KPIs through CDLTM SERVICE: • Order fulfillment • Responsiveness (helps hit rate and lowers cost of business in our profit equation) • Pick up the phone quickly • Fast processing of faxed orders • Competent answers (hit rate/cost of business/promise…practical) • Courteous and helpful (hit rate, core values)
Control loop: Process variableversus the set point • Devise report cards that report on how well the teams affect KPIs through SERVICE
Close the control loop • Reward performance to get behavior to achieve the desired results • Tie part of everyone’s compensation to their report card • 10% of salary is tied to performance • 2% of salary is tied to community careabouts
