The Olympics are a tremendous source of inspiration in many respects. Watching the incredibly talented athletes compete is truly amazing.

Seeing so many of the countries of the world come together in peace is also a remarkable sight. Fans and supporters cheer all of the athletes whether they are winning, struggling, or just giving it their all, and no matter where they are from.

Supply Chain Should Lead the Boardroom … the Coronavirus Proves it!

Coronavirus Exposes Global Supply Chain Fragility!

The Coronavirus situation has now been declared a pandemic. With over 750,000 cases, over 36000 deaths the expectation is the number of infections will continue to grow at an incredibly rapid rate.

The economic and Supply Chain impact has been, and will be, enormous with employees unable to work, factories shut down, and modes of transportation idled in record numbers. It will take enormous intelligence and expertise to get the Supply Chain back on track throughout, and after, this crisis.

Supply Chain leaders now belong at the head of the Boardroom table like never before.

Shared Working Spaces are Great for Business Growth!

Increasing the Efficiency of Remote Worker Management!

Over the years, business models have changed immensely to become much more dynamic and flexible. Businesses are now open to exploring ideas that might have, a few years ago, seemed outlandish and absurd. The concept of coworking or using shared working spaces is one such notion.

Most businesses consider the traditional, employee-only workspace to be the one most conducive to productivity. However, when analyzing employee satisfaction, the shared workspace always comes out on top as a winner.

Small businesses, in particular, can benefit immensely from using a coworking space.

This idea is still relatively new, so we understand if you’re still unsure. However, keep reading below, and we’ll be sure to put all your doubts to rest.

Trucking is one of the most important industries in all of America, with trucking companies responsible for supporting the vast majority of the nation’s communities and helping to transport countless tons of freights from place to place every single day. However, the industry is witnessing an unprecedented shortage of workers and needs younger workers.

There are several potential reasons for this. Some experts argue that the rules and regulations of the industry are too strict and off-putting, while others feel that the long hours and risks associated with the job might be making it less attractive to younger people.

10 Lessons From Good Bosses!

Over the course of a long career I have worked with and for many, many people. As I reflect on the bosses I have had it is easy to create a list of those I considered to be good bosses and those I considered to be bad bosses.

But I have also always felt that you can, and should, learn from everyone. Whether you consider that they are good, bad or indifferent there are behaviours and qualities that you can see in every person.

Everyone can share similar stories, again both good and bad. It’s how you react, adapt, adopt, avoid, change, and deal with these behaviours that is important.
