The challenge

He receives inbound calls from drivers who have encountered disruptions to service for a wide variety of reasons and often require urgent support that is facilitated by Tom and others in the Operations team. He has tended to get frustrated with callers and ‘lose his cool’ to the detriment of a solutions-based focus.
