The 8 Laws of Customer-Focused Leadership

New Rules For Building A Business Around Today’s Customer

In a rapidly changing world filled with uncertainties, one thing remains crystal clear: customers are increasingly fickle and no longer care about loyalty to any particular company. In addition, many well-intentioned companies are falling short of customer expectations, despite every organization’s potential for excellence. The truth is customer experience is not what it used to be. New technologies, values, generational expectations, economic instability, – and the rapid pace of change all must be considered as you forge ahead. How do you put the customer first in the face of all these emerging trends?

"This book is a must-read for leaders who want to transform their organizations into customer-centric powerhouses."

Former CEO and Chairman, United Airlines
