No Dogs or Anglophones: Francophones Welcome On This Blog:

"What makes Montreal (where most of us live) so fascinating is hard to describe. Perhaps it is because Montreal has an edginess not found anywhere in Canada, where life can best be described as neat. That's not meant to be an insult, we're just different. Some people flock here because of that fact and some people flee."

"Of all of Canada's major cities, Montreal may be the most imperfect, but it's what makes it interesting to live here. If you don't get it, then you shouldn't stay."

• Hire for attitude, train for skills
• Empower the front lines

• Keep it simple
• Party, Party, Party
• Labels matter
o People vs employees
o Promises vs policies
o Team leads vs supervisors
o Guests vs passengers
• Avoid over used slogans/quotes – they aren’t believed
o Employee is biggest asset
o We’ll be #1
o Customer is always rights
• Passion is fueled by emotional commitment
• Take care of the people they will take care of the customer
• Empower people to do the right thing
• Great customer service comes from the heart not a manual
• Under promise – over deliver
• Treat employees better than customers
• Any excuse for a celebration
• Always have fun
• Take your job seriously but not yourself
• We believe attitude is everything
• Communication is key – “what we value, how we think”, delivered in person by CEO; Tell people everything you can – in person – they’ll care more
• Focus on the majority
• Engage ‘peoples’ hearts & minds"
