About this audiobook
Front-line employees can be your greatest asset-here's how to tap their rich vein of insight and leadership.
Front-line employees who deal directly with customers are the face of any organization. Not only do they have the most impact on how a brand is perceived, but they are also the most valuable source of insight into what customers want and how to give it to them.

How Zappos trusts its people to do anything in service of a customer, including providing free product or reimbursing for mistakes
How Mayo Clinic of Arizona enabled its nurses to challenge the hierarchy in order to improve patient care
