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.

Lessons from Bad Bosses!

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.

Supply Chain Education and Certification – What’s Missing?

Quantum Leap to the Top 10 Supply Chain Skills of the Future!

The phrase “Supply Chain Management” was originally coined by Keith Oliver in 1982 and subsequently gained increasing popularity as its usage was proliferated in books and language. That was the start of Supply Chain education.

Since that time there has been an ever increasing number of Universities, Colleges, Institutions and Associations offering credits, diplomas, degrees and certifications in all or some aspect of Supply Chain.

While the basic courses are truly important we believe that they are insufficient for really preparing people for a Supply Chain career.

The Transformation of HR: Legacy to Modern!

Trust! The “X” Factor!

How we worked has changed drastically in the last decade. Even though the pandemic was a harbinger of transformations in business models worldwide, organisational cultures also changed, including the transformation of HR.

Working culture worldwide was affected by a recession, technological advancements, and an evolving workforce that now views employment differently. Ten years ago, research suggested that the best companies in the world named succession planning challenges along with providing leaders the tools they needed to be successful.

This pushes employers to provide flexible working schedules to employees with personal obligations and help fresh graduates with post-grad education.

That said, that’s not where it stops. Here’s how the transformation of HR is evolving.

Screen Time! Is That Enough To Be Good In Supply Chain?

Social Media Tips for Supply Chain Leaders!

How many screens do you have? And is your screen time?

You likely have a Cell phone or a Smart phone. You may have a Desktop computer monitor or a Laptop, or both, between your home and your place of work. You may have a wearable device like a Fitbit or an Apple Watch. You may have an iPad or other type of tablet. And your TV may even have Internet connectivity.

But for those who are learning about Supply Chain, or any other profession for that matter, is it best to acquire that learning and gain that experience just by watching screens? Or is it better in Supply Chain to learn based on actual physical experiences and interactions?

Why You Should Consider More Study After Earning a Degree!

Is it Worth it to Stay in Grad School?

You’ve worked hard, perhaps for many years (and usually at least three) in earning your degree. You’re proud of yourself and you are glad that you put in the effort because now you can move forward with your life with all kinds of options open to you.

One of those options – one that you might not initially even realize is there, let alone take any time to contemplate it – is to continue learning. You don’t have to go straight into the world of work after gaining your Bachelors degree. You don’t have to start your own business or do any of the other ‘expected’ things.
