4 Round One: Manager 1 Preparation Sheet You manage a group who provides internal support. Your charter, given you directly by upper management, is to run a cost-effective work group. The work volume has increased dramatically recently. Your employees are overworked and backlogged. They have enough trouble meeting the routine demands on your work group, let alone handling special requests. Still, certain other work groups persist in calling for special, one-time, "urgent" attention rather than going through normal channels. As a result, you know some of your employees react impatiently to special requests. You do your best to make sure legitimate requests are honored, but you feel many of the requests are not necessary and only serve to increase the already burdensome load your employees have to carry. The other manager has called to ask for a few minutes of your time. You have no idea what it's about. Use the essential communication skills and pay attention to how the other manager behaves. Can you respond according to his or her communication style? 5-18

5 Round One: Upset Manager Preparation Sheet You manage a group who provides service directly to end users. Your charter, given you directly by upper management, is to do whatever it takes to move more products. As a result, your employees frequently get involved in one-of-a-kind interventions on behalf of the end user. One of your employees was recently working on saving a particularly important account, and a significant order stood in the balance. Your employee went to Manager l's work group and requested special assistance on behalf of the customer. The response from the other employee was rude, and the request was put at the bottom of a large in-basket. Your employee carne to you with the story, and you got very upset. You called Manager 1 and asked for a few minutes. The way you're feeling, this is the last time Manager l's work group is going to interfere with your clear charter to provide end-user satisfaction. You know they have a lot to do over there, but in your opinion they are inefficient. In any case, a situation like this one should clearly take precedence over routine work. You are about to enter Manager l's office. You're close to the boiling point as you enter. After the pleasantries, you will say something like, "What does it take to get decent service around here?" How to play your role Pick a communication style that is comfortable to you. Refer to the chart on page 5-17 for hints on how to portray the style. Allow yourself to get upset, staying consistent with the style you are portraying. Manager 1 will need to use all the communication skills to cool you down and work out a solution to your satisfaction. If you are asked a question about something you did not anticipate, invent more details on the spot. Remember that the focus of the role play is on the communication skills used in handling stressed people-not on any technical details of the problem. 5-19

Cool upset person down effectively? Isolate the problem? Fix the problem? Fix upset person? Confirm upset person's satisfaction? Pay attention to both words and tone of voice? Notice all important details? Let upset person know he/she was listening? Process Root out assumptions? _ Organize sequences of questions well? _ Keep track of what had already been said? _ Use information to arrive at a good solution? _ Output Express empathy? Ask broad questions to get upset person talking? Ask specific questions to focus upset person? Check Present explanations clearly? Check his/her own understanding? Check for the other person's understanding? Check for agreement? 5-20

7 Round Two: Manager 1 Preparation Sheet You manage a group of people who provide service directly to end users. You pride yourself on the fact that your work group puts in 150% effort to support their customers. You frequently wish that the rest of your organization (particularly the other manager's operation) displayed the same dedication to customer service. You find that you often have to intervene personally to support your employees. For example, a customer recently required a part, and one of your employees tried to get the part delivered. The person in the other work group insisted that the part was not available, not even in the country. This caused great frustration, and finally you personally went over to the other area, found the supposedly unavailable part, and watched while it was boxed and shipped. The other manager is the head of the work group that you see as such a bottleneck. You wish they would be more cooperative. Now you have received a call from the other manager indicating that he or she is upset with you. The other manager is on the way to your office right now. Use the essential communication skills and pay attention to how the other manager behaves. Can you respond according to his or her communication style? 5-21

8 Round Two: Upset Manager Preparation Sheet You manage a logisticslinventory control operation. The work load is (as always) slightly more than your employees can handle comfortably. Manager 1 is in charge of an operation that provides service directly to end users. What really irritates you is that sometimes this group does not go through normal channels to achieve their objectives. Just yesterday, you learned that Manager 1 personally came over to your operation, went through boxes and shelves as if he or she owned the place, and took a part to satisfy a customer request. You are feeling quite annoyed about this. You don't want this manager meddling in your operation, stepping around normal channels, going behind your back. If any other manager has a problem with your operation, it should be discussed openly. You have just called Manager 1 to say you're on your way over to his or her office. How to play your role Pick a communication style that is comfortable to you. Refer to the chart on page 5-17 for hints on how to portray the style. Allow yourself to get upset, staying consistent with the style you are portraying. Manager 1 will need to use all the communication skills to cool you down and work out a solution to your satisfaction. If you are asked a question about something you did not anticipate, invent more details on the spot. Remember that the focus ofthe role play is on the communication skills used in handling stressed people-not on any technical details of the problem. 5-22

9 Round Three: Manager 1 Preparation Sheet You manage a field service organization. One of your people has been called repeatedly to service a large installation that has been plagued by intermittent problems. The field service technician has tried several different solutions, none of which apparently fixed the problem. This morning, another service call is taking place. The account in question is very important to your company. You are about to receive a phone call from the customer. Use the essential communication skills and pay attention to how the customer behaves. Can you respond according to his or her communication style? 5-24

10 Round Three: Upset Customer Preparation Sheet You are a customer who has been getting the runaround. Your company has made a major investment in equipment and systems manufactured by your role play partner's organization. You have been instrumental in making those purchasing decisions, and a large factor in your decisions has been the promise of excellent service. Now a series of events has got you seriously upset: Intermittent problems have plagued the installation. Each time, the field service technician has assured you the problem was fixed. Each time, the problem has returned. The department's productivity is seriously hampered by this problem. The field service technician does not have sufficient spare parts with him when he comes. Parts that have been ordered have been delivered incorrectly-you have documentation of one delivery to the wrong address, one with the wrong part in the box, and one where the part arrived broken. You just got an invoice for services never received. The field service technician was just here to fix the intermittent problem again, and he was unsuccessful; this time, he shrugged and said lithe system is unpredictable; you're just going to have to live with it. II You are not usually a complainer, but that was the last straw. You got the technician's manager's number and are calling the manager now. You don't know exactly what you want the manager to do about all these problems, but you certainly want to see some evidence that things are going to change. How to play your role Pick a communication style that is comfortable to you. Refer to the chart on page 5-17 for hints on how to portray the style. Allow yourself to get upset, staying consistent with the style you are portraying. Manager 1 will need to use all the communication skills to cool you down and work out a solution to your satisfaction. If you are asked a question about something you did not anticipate, invent more details on the spot. Remember that the focus ofthe role play is on the communication skills used in handling stressed people-not on any technical details ofthe problem. 5-25

Cool upset person down effectively? Isolate the problem? Fix the problem? Fix upset person? Confirm upset person's satisfaction? Pay attention to both words and tone of voice? Notice all important details? Let upset person know he/she was listening? Process Root out assumptions? _ Organize sequences of questions well?

Ask specific questions to focus upset person? Check Present explanations clearly? Check his/her own understanding? Check for the other person's understanding? Check for agreement? 5-26

12 Module 5 Innovation Sheet Use the space here to capture critical information about what you've just experienced. Focus on ideas related to the change process your organization is undergoing and on how you can enhance quality service. You'll corne back to this at the end of the program. Based on the topics discussed in this module: What are we doing right? What's happening that shouldn't be? What's not happening that should be? What things need changing to improve customer service? What action items can you take within your own organization? 5-27
