This goes beyond the typical focus on brains (technical knowledge) and brawn (physical ability to do the job), and instead, gets to the heart of their ability to be a service oriented technician. Chick-fil-A hires like this, and so should we...." To listen to the full episode click here. To read this article, take the CE quiz & download your certificate, click here.
