This classic service primer shows how to make service quality an imperative in the organization and increase profits with customer loyalty.

This all-new edition of the seminal book on navigating the multigenerational workplace takes a fresh look at a growing challenge, now exacerbated by the youngest employees. With their micromanaged childhoods and tech addictions, Gen Yers require constant feedback-frustrating for the Me Generation that can't let go of the spotlight, and annoying for Gen Xers, sandwiched between the two. So how can you lead this motley group with their often incompatible work ethics, values, and styles? Generations at Work lays bare the causes of conflict, and offers practical guidelines for managing the differences, including: * In-depth interviews with members of each generation * Best practices from companies bridging the generation gap * Specific tips for each generation on how to handle the others * A field guide for mentoring GenerationY For anyone struggling to manage a workforce with different ways of working, communicating, and thinking, Generations at Work is the answer.

Outlines the skills and techniques of providing superior customer service.

"In Delivering Knock Your Socks off Service, Ron Zemke gave service providers a crash course in how to care for customers. Now, in Managing Knock Your Socks Off Service, Zemke and Chip Bell show managers how to make exemplary service ""happen"" in their organization over and over again. As Zemke and Bell point out, having excellent service providers is only half of the service battle. For without support and appreciation for a good job, and the right systems to deliver what they've promised customers, service providers soon wither and die -- or quit. And worse, customers go off in search of care. Written for front-line managers, supervisors, and owners of small companies, Managing Knock Your Socks Off Service shows how to create good service on a day-to-day, real-time, every-time basis. Zemke and Bell present eight clear goals for ensuring superior service: 1. Find and retain quality people 2. Know your customers intimately 3. Focus your unit on a specific organizational purpose 4. Create easy-to-do-business-with delivery systems 5. Train -- and support -- employees 6. Involve and empower employees 7. Recognize and reward good performance 8. Set the tone and lead the way through your personal example In spirited detail, Managing Knock Your Socks Off Service presents practical ways to achieve excellence in each of these vital areas. Chapters are filled with quotes from service standard-setters, such as Marriott, Federal Express, and Southwest Airlines. According to Zemke and Bell: ""The corporate hero of the 1990's will be the manager who understands the design, development, and delivery of high-quality service."" Managing Knock Your Socks Off Service will help create a new generation of service quality heroes."
