Good morning, this is Laura. Welcome to 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: for thriving in the new world of work, where location 26 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: and ours are more flexible than in the past. Today's 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: tip is to be your own receptionist or do other 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: frontline work from time to time. If you're in a 29 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: leadership role at your organization, you probably take a broad 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: view of your organization's work. You focus on the mission 31 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: you ask about the bottom line, is your market share growing, 32 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: what our employee retention rates? What new competitors have entered 33 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: your space? Questions like these are essential, but sometimes it 34 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: can also be helpful to get down into the weeds 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: so you can understand the everyday experiences of your clients 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: and customers. One great way to do this is to 37 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: fill in as the receptionist every now and then pick 38 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: up the phone for the mainline at your organization and 39 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: pay attention to what colors have to say. You could 40 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: do the digital equivalent by fielding the queries that come 41 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: into your organization's main inbox. Do you get questions from 42 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: customers about whether your current hours and services are the 43 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: same as usual or whether there have been COVID related adjustments. 44 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: If so, maybe you can make this information easier to 45 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: find on your website or social media. Are concerned clients 46 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: calling or emailing because they haven't yet received a mailing 47 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: they usually get in early December? Maybe that means you 48 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: need to communicate more clearly that you've gone all digital 49 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: this year. Are you getting compliments about a recent webinar 50 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: and inquiries about whether the recording is available for people 51 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: who couldn't attend. That is a great occasion to share 52 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: the positive feedback with the person who put together the 53 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: webinar and talk with the communications team about promoting the 54 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: recording to new audiences. It's easy to assume that as 55 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: a senior leader, your time is best spent far away 56 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: from day to day operations, and that's generally true. But 57 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: by taking a different perspective from time to time, you 58 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: can enjoy a front row seat to see the experiences 59 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: of your customers or clients. By filling in as a 60 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: frontline worker every now and then, or by shadowing a 61 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: frontline worker. You can learn a lot about how your 62 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: organization is serving your customers, and you will definitely get 63 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: ideas for how your organization can do its job even better. 64 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura, Thanks for listening, and 65 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: here's the succeeding in the New Corner Office.
