For top executives to add value to their organizations, those in the C suite must learn how to recruit, train, nurture, maintain, and retain exceptional employees who understand customers. If an organization wants to not just survive, but also succeed, it must anticipate its customers’ needs and adjust its direction and momentum accordingly. A successful company does that by fulfilling customer requirements and desires more effectively than the competition.
