2/27/08 - The Risk of Asking
"If you owned this business, what is the one thing you would change?" That was the question I was recently asked during a customer satisfaction survey while on the ski lift at a resort.
 
As a frequent visitor to the resort, I knew right away what one thing I would do to improve the joint. I felt such a feeling of empowerment. At least for the moment. However, I don't own the ski resort and my input is but one among dozens, hundreds, or thousands. What is the chance my input would result in action?
 
I don't know the probability of my input being the "one thing." However, I know that I anxiously await my next visit to see. It is a powerful question. But maybe it is a dangerous question because if they don't do what I would like them to, is my loyalty to them a casualty? Is the risk in asking worth it? What do you think?
