Is “walking the talk” a tired old cliché or a bold new concept? According to a Gallup poll, 25% of U.S. employees would fire their bosses if they could. Why? Because many managers set high service standards for their employees, yet fail to abide by those same standards. If you are a manager, you are in an excellent position to lead by example.
