• Forcing your employees to follow required steps only prevents customer dissatisfaction. If your goal is truly to satisfy, to create advocates, then the step-by-step approach alone cannot get you there.

Define outcomes that play to those strengths. Find a way to count, rate or rank those outcomes. And then let the person run.
