This may be one of the more challenging Two Minute Warnings we have issued. You see, 2018 is likely to go down as one of the most challenging years logistics professionals have experienced in their careers. The rapid escalation in freight costs has put freight issues under the microscope, and CEOs are asking questions.
Several years ago I was interviewing a friend and a nationally respected expert in executive outplacement and career development, and he made an interesting observation when I asked him, "What is the single biggest mistake people make when it comes to managing their careers?" He didn’t blink an eye when he responded, “That’s easy! The single biggest mistake people make is their inability to ask for help!"
Last week I was on a conference call with some CEOs–one of whom listens to our Two Minute Warnings. As we were talking about “pain points” and a list of issues affecting their bottom lines, guess which issue is rapidly zooming up the list? The impact of rising freight costs!
