As a leader, the most critical aspect of being a Logistics Manager is the successful development and coaching of those under them. An effective Logistics Manager develops strong individuals that know how to make the right decisions, improve organizational culture and to take responsibility when required. Logistics Managers evangelize accountability and emphasize the importance of this responsibility in creating a strong culture of accountability throughout the entire organization. Logistics Managers ensure their teams understand the importance of their role, their expectations and how their success impacts the bigger picture. Logistics Managers demonstrate good judgment in how and when to escalate without damaging relationships. When confronted with discordant views, Logistics Managers are able to find the best path forward and can influence others to follow that path (build consensus).
