Service is everyone’s responsibility and this is particularly true for anyone who manages and supervises others. Not just managers and supervisors of people who interact directly with customers, but in fact, everyone who manages and supervises others.
Customer-contact and support employees are rarely the biggest obstacle to service improvement.

They are encouraged to use their creativity and initiative and then they are rewarded for doing so.
