A classic Sloan Management Review article by Schlesinger and Heskett, titled,
“Breaking the Cycle of Failure in Services” teaches us that customer satisfaction
depends on a number of things, including employee satisfaction. They basically say, if
you were smart to be selective in hiring, and you try to enrich your employees by
training them well, and keep them happy by paying them well and giving them other
perks, they’ll stay with your firm. Their staying is important because they know the
company and the brand, and whenever customers have questions, the employees can
answer them fully. Similarly, if the customer has a problem, the employees are better
able to help the customer and fix the problem. The customer service is good, and the
customers go away happy, which also makes the employees happy, etc.
In contrast, imagine a “cycle of failure”… if you hire people without much screening,
train and pay them minimally, they’re not likely to give a hoot about your brand or

be less likely to be motivated to “go above and beyond the call” to make the customers
happy, and indeed, the customers are likely to leave being dissatisfied, or at least
unimpressed.
Questions:
1. What if you are in such a “cycle of failure”, how do you break it?
2. Imagine you are the Chief Marketing Officer for a chain of department stores whose

may not be “worth” it.)
3. Do you fire your current employees in order to start over (could be a potential lawsuit
or social media nightmare)?
4. Below is a simple version of the cycle. Where would you break in to fix it?
