Driven to Delight Holiday Giveaway!

MBworld.org is celebrating the Holidays by giving away four copies of the book 'Driven to Delight'.


Four (4) lucky members will be selected to receive one copy of the book Driven to Delight. Nowhere else can you find this in-depth, all-access look at senior leadership’s vision, strategy, and tactical steps to create and sustain the wide-sweeping actions needed to deliver a customer experience that lives up to the company’s brand promise, “the best or nothing.”

A firsthand look at how Mercedes-Benz transformed itself into a best-in-class, customer-obsessed organization. Driven to Delight offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at CEO Steve Cannon and his leadership team’s ambitious, multi-pronged strategy to elevate the company’s customer experience to best-in-class, across all brands and industries. Acclaimed author Joseph Michelli reveals how leaders within the organization drove the transformation of the operational and cultural environments at Mercedes-Benz through their strategic vision, “Driven to Delight.”

About the Author:
Joseph Michelli (St. Petersburg, FL) is an internationally sought-after speaker, author, organizational consultant whose work examines the convergence of customer service, excellence, and business success. His books include The Starbucks Experience, The New Gold Standard, Prescription for Excellence, The Zappos Experience, and Leading the Starbucks Way.

Happy Holidays to all at MBWorld! Santa needs to swap his sled for some wheels. The weather here in upstate New York has been so nice that we are still cruising in my '06 CLK350 with the top down!

As a "newbie" follower of the GLC forum (looking to buy one), I want to post a "holiday" thank you to two regular and one occasional contributors to that forum whose insight and/or information make the forum worthwhile: rbbylaw, fabbrisd1, and (for the US order guide posting) nut854.

Santa just called.

He wants his car back. Doesn't really like the GT as he prefers an open top sleigh.
