Hello Nicole,

CEO Tony Hsieh of Zappos demonstrates a different approach of putting his employees and customers simultaneously first. CEO Hsieh is one of the few CEOs that I have read about how he deeply cares about the wellbeing of his employees. As what you stated "Happy employees equal Happy customers, " which is a true statement because no organization will not succeed with caring about the wellbeing of its employees.

Great post and Happy Monday!

    Jay Shottenstein's Leadership Theory

    If an organization aims to be successful, which most do, a crucial part in that success is strong leadership skills and a healthy employee/boss relationship. CEO Jay S. Schottenstein, who runs American Eagle Outfitters is an example of how communication can positively and negative effect an organization. This company uses a classical approach with a downward communication style. There is a lack of attentiveness towards employees but have a high understanding and care for production and clientele. I have personal experience on how corporate communicates and operates with employees because I was employed by this company during high school.…

    Chick-Fil-A: Servant Leadership

    As a leader, it is important that one is concerned about the well-being and development of his or her employees. Coupled with genuine concerns about employees, servant leadership is “demonstrated by empowering and developing people with empathy and humility” (Mittal & Dorfman, 2012 p. 1). The founder of Chick-fil-a, understood that an employee’s attitude affected the company’s bottom line, so S. Truett Cathy sought to serve his customers and employees by instituting dining areas that were not indicative of fast-food restaurant, but of fine-dining such as flowers, and he believed that employees deserved a day of rest, so all of the franchises are closed on Sunday. His commitment to customers and staff members exemplified a servant leader.…

    John Lewis 'Transition Of The Company Tata Group'

    There are two articles on this page; the first article talks about Tata Group, India’s biggest company, and the second one talks about John Lewis, a company that is based in Britain. The first article discusses how Tata Group is trying to do a transition from family leadership to professional management, by considering all candidates to replace the current CEO who will retire in two years. In this case, “all candidates” refers to outsiders, particularly foreigners. I personally like Tata’s idea of bringing in an outsider for the leadership role, particularly because he or she can bring in new ideas and perspective.…

    Needs Analysis For The Hudson's Bay

    The first step that I would take, prior to conducting the Needs Analysis, is to determine what the actual performance gap is in this situation. On the surface this problem is clearly that salespeople are not available when needed by customers and when they are available they are not interested in helping the customers. Working in retail myself, the common expectations of all employees are to be visible and to keep a positive attitude when dealing with customers. These principles should hold true for any retail firm, no matter their vision or strategic objectives as that is the norm of the industry. There is clearly some sort of performance gap here because these common norms are not being adhered to.…

    Gravity Payments: Dan Price Case Analysis

    In 2015, CEO of Gravity Payments Dan Price, announced his decision to raise the minimum wage of his employees to $70,000 USD over the next 3 years. Dan Price made this decision after reading a happiness study from Princeton that stated employees wellbeing and happiness rose with income increases up to $75,000 USD per year (at which point income stopped affecting happiness.) To fund these increases, the CEO dramatically reduced his salary from $1 Million USD to $70,000 USD and is projecting higher profits in the coming years (O’Brien, 2015). Critics of the decision have been some internal employees who did not think it was fair that their colleagues with less skills and education had their wages raised to the same level as them.
