There are many strategies to achieve this objective, and yet only a few businesses are fully satisfied with the outcomes. The reason is this – ignoring the fundamental fact that only satisfied employees can create customer satisfaction.

Everyone is keen to win.  Zig Ziglar says, "You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win."   But as a research scholar observes, “many people get stuck in the planning phase because they fear failure. Studies and psychologists show that up to 80% of people experience risk-aversion and anxiety……..often because they worry about looking bad, wasting time, or losing".   With such high levels of anxiety, many look for guides, trainers, coaches, and often godfathers.
