Why empower managers?
Clearly, there is a big ask of tech support managers: They simply don’t have the time for the most important priorities—those that look beyond a single interaction to solve underlying problems that can deliver real value to the organization. While the C-suite may prescribe overall business strategy, that vision doesn’t translate to actionable daily tasks for managers on the ground.
Rather, hands-on managers must devise their own day-to-day routine to help reach those strategic outcomes, in addition to executing their daily workload, managing teams, and meeting customer expectations. This rarely works out. Managers simply don’t have the luxury of time to think about strategy — it is always customers first.
Service and support managers are tasked with implementing strategic initiatives like “becoming proactive and preventative,” knowledge management, selecting “best of breed” technology, and rationalizing metrics. Then, in addition to ensuring resolution of customer issues quickly and efficiently, hands-on managers are expected to boost employee engagement and satisfaction as well, which is critical to an organization’s overall success. But even if managers could free up time to focus on strategic goals, they’re often unsure of what steps to take next.
