I received a phone call from the owner of the landscaping company that is doing some work in our yard. He asked whether I was happy with the results so far, to which I responded that I was.
His next question surprised me. βπ°π ππ ππππ ππππππ?β he asked.
βYes, now that you mention it, they are very polite! Not only to me, but to each other, they seem to enjoy working together.β I answered.
βWell, good, thatβs very important to me, ππππ ππππ ππ ππππ ππππ.β
Now, this company, this landscaping company has been around since 1979. They must have hundreds of clients, many of them large commercial clients bringing in a lot more $$$ than my small backyard project.
Yet the owner, Ross Gregory, called me on the phone himself, to ask not only if I was happy with the ππππππ of his teamβs work but ππππ πππ πππ ππππ πππ ππ ππ.
Maybe it was a random call, or maybe he calls every single client at least once. I don’t know. What struck me was his specific question about his team’s manners. Not only about the work being done well, but about working well.
Leaders should care πππ teams get to results.
