The actions and behaviours they see modeled and the ideals their immediate supervisor appears to value will inform their decisions and behaviour at work.

Steve Curtin is an expert and speaker on customer service management and leadership. He is author, Delight Your Customers and The Revelation Conversation: Inspire Greater Employee Engagement by Connecting to Purpose.
