Leading a logistics team has always been a challenging role and the demands are even greater in today’s environment. The effectiveness and efficiency between those who simply “manage” versus those who “lead” is marked.
Highly functioning logistics leaders in warehouse and transportation roles know themselves, their teams and their customers. They maximize the potential of their teams and are viewed by customers as partners, not suppliers.
This six-hour workshop is instructed by Jack Tongue, a dynamic learning and development leader with over 30 years’ experience in the creation, development and delivery of training solutions designed to support business goals and initiatives. He has managed learning and development programs for a broad range of companies including Penske Logistics, LSI, Agere Systems, Lucent Technologies and AT&T Microelectronics.
