There are many skills a leader should possess to instill a positive and satisfying internal customer service experience. These skills consist of clear and strong communication, problem-solving, and motivation. Strong communication allows for information to be given and received without further clarification and can reduce confusion about expectations. Problem-solving skills are essential because the leader can effectively resolve issues with solutions and compromise so that the problem does not escalate further. Lastly, having a motivated leader drives the right culture and mindset within the employees to perform at their best consistently.
A time when I worked in a positive environment was at my current place of work. Much of our work consists of clinical reviews that can be measured through various production metrics. Having a leader that can communicate the expectations allows the employees to understand their day-to-day expectations and goals. Many leaders I work alongside are motivated and passionate about their work, which drives their teams to perform at their best. The result is increased production work being performed by the employees and satisfied members.
