003: How to Lead in a Crisis

Customer Service Revolution

play

05/13/20 • 52 min

In times of adversity and change, we discover who we are and what we're made of. As the saying goes, "Tough times don't build character. They reveal it."

How you lead right now says so much about you as a leader. You have to set the tone for your entire organization. You have to be that person to fight, overcome the odds, and be the one that people can look to and rely on.

You need to rise to the occasion and show confidence to your customers, your employees, your vendors, and your family – everyone! What you think about, you bring about. What you say, you start believing yourself. You've got to be there for others.

In today’s episode, I talk about how to lead in a crisis.

We need to appreciate the anxiety and stress all our employees, fellow leaders, vendors, customers, and neighbors are all having during these times. Morale is bound to be low and so we all need to do our best to reduce that fear and anxiety.

My favorite word? Encourage. It means to put courage in others that they feel they can do anything. And this is what I hope for you to learn from this episode.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • The 4 primary areas of leading in crisis
  • How to be a great leader today
  • Building and owning the relationships by knowing your customers’ FORD
  • How to put customer experience and employee experience on center stage
  • Why recession is a horrible thing to waste
  • The importance of consuming positive information

Giving back to the community is not just about writing a check. Social service should be way more than that.

You have to get involved and find out what people with different backgrounds are like. And it starts with having those conversations.

In this episode of The Customer Service Revolution, John DiJulius interviews coach DJ Santiago, the Founder of Aspiring Athletes, about the need for companies and individuals to step up and address social inequality.

It isn't easy for Latin Americans to overcome the adversities that accompany the inner-city at-risk youth population. While many of his friends ended up in prison or dead, DJ found a way to beat insurmountable odds to become a professional athlete, successful business owner, and author.

Both John and DJ are board members of Believe in Dreams, a nonprofit organization that seeks to fulfill the dreams of disadvantaged children who have suffered traumatic hardships.

This is an inspiring story that we hope you enjoy!

Here are just a few takeaways:

  • What impact does social responsibility have on your company and the community?
  • What is it like to grow up in the inner city?
  • Why do you need to acknowledge that racism exists both publicly and privately?
  • What does the concept of diversity and inclusion really mean?
  • How can you learn about different cultures and backgrounds of people?
  • How does DJ make sure he doesn’t forget where he comes from?
  • What kinds of questions should we use in those conversations?
  • How is the coronavirus situation similar to racism?
  • How is having a dialogue different than having a discussion?
  • Can we cure this problem of racism?
