They might be unaware, they might be unconcerned, they might have a different priority list.

And yet… no matter where we begin, we each get the choice, every day, to choose to lead. It’s tragic that the brainwashing runs so deep that we’ve hidden that choice from many people.

It’s a common part of many contact center calls: the transfer. But while frequently used, transfers can be loaded with pitfalls.
