Brad believes that it is impossible to have a service culture unless you have leaders who are trained on how to lead people in that culture. Are you a manger that asks: “Did my employees do what they were supposed to do today?” or are a leader that asks: “Did I do what I was supposed to do today, so that my employees could do what they were supposed to do?” Brad provides suggestions on how we can change our behavior just slightly, in order to greatly impact the people we lead.
