“Mass Customizing” Defined
• Not just meeting your individual needs . . .
• But meeting everyone’s needs, simultaneously . . .
• Other professionals get to work with one client
at a time . . . great, but that’s not mass
customizing . . .
• Teachers have 25 - 30 clients at a time . . .
• Now that’s “Mass Customizing” . . .

between
what the leader perceives he is doing
with
what direct reports perceive the leader is doing.
