Communication is usually the number one complaint in any organization. 

Too many managers don't plan their communication. Employees find it boring and don't get the message. In fact, most managers aren't even sure what message they are trying to get out to employees.

What is the difference between a poor experience, a good experience, and a great experience?

The difference is the value you provide. 

If you provide enough value, not only will people want to come back, they will tell others about your business. 

Bob Burg, co-author of the The Go-Giver, joins Creating Disney Magic to discuss how to create magic though providing exceptional value.

Customer complaints can be delicate. How you deal with an unsatisfied customer will shape their opinion of the company. 

At Disney, Lee made sure managers knew to never get defensive with guests. Never try to win the argument with a customer. 

Your goal with a complaining customer is to win them over. Make them happy before they leave your business. 

Remember, emotional feedback from a customer will help you realize where you need to improve. Understanding where you need to improve, will help you move from good to great. 

It is not the problem that gets you in trouble, it is how you solve it.

Most people, no matter what level they are at in an organization, dread performance reviews. It does not have to be that way. 

Lee Cockerell offers some insight into a better way to handle performance reviews so employees benefit from the process. 

There should be no surprises on a performance review. Every item, good, bad, or ugly, should have been discussed throughout the year. 

Here is a performance review resource from Harvard Business Review
