Ruben R. Puentedura's Weblog. Full Loyalty, No Negativity? What Can Our Schools Learn from Apple? | The Christian School Journal. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone could write an article describing our schools titled “Full Loyalty, No Negativity?” I am a recent convert from a Windows PC to the Mac computing environment. That is a story for another day but what I want to share with you are some observations from my experiences in Apple stores and how those observations can be applied to move more of our students, parents, and employees closer to Full Loyalty with No Negativity.

If you have been in an Apple Store recently (if you haven’t I encourage you to do so as an observant leader–but you may want to leave your wallet at home!) You will discover that they are almost always filled with highly engaged customers, attentive staff, and great customer service. At least, that has been my experience every time I have visited an Apple store. Consider some of the observations from a recent Wall Street Journal article; Secrets From Apple’s Genius Bar: Full Loyalty, No Negativity. APPLICATION: This is a tricky one.
