Lessons Learned
• Success driven from top leadership, from Board of Trustees through CEO.
• Always explain the “why”: staff want to be smart about business decisions and the “why” helps with buy-in.
• It doesn’t happen overnight. Our internal strategy focused on staff drives to an outcome of “World Class Customer Service.” This change has happened over the last two years.
• Key training: all managers trained on Managing Transitions, by William Bridges to help staff embrace change.
