GOODQUESTION Readers Weigh In

What Would You Put on a Motivational Poster in Your Ofce or Workplace? Workplace?

REMAIN IRREVERENT. I encourage our team to adopt an innovative mindset and challenge legacy ways of thinking. Our success in commercial security is rooted in staying disciplined around this mindset and constantly reimagining what cameras can do to protect our customers’ assets while providing business intelligence at every stage of the supply chain. –Markus Scott CEO, EyeQ Monitoring

Change Is the Only Constant

This is especially true in logistics, where conditions can shift dramatically in an instant. We can’t predict every disruption, but we can create systems, processes, and teams that adapt quickly when plans change. That readiness helps keep freight moving and stakeholders in the know when the unexpected happens. –Mark Buman Chief Revenue O‰cer, Magaya This is important for me to remember. Supply chain and logistics never stand still. You can’t get too high or too low because there will always be a new challenge to tackle and a new solution to find for your customers. –Paul Brinkman President, Trans-Solutions Consulting

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA. Through hardships to the stars.

Nothing about building a drone that flies itself in a GPS-denied warehouse was easy, and that is exactly why it was worth building. I want the team to be reminded daily that the friction is the point, not a sign we picked the wrong problem. –Mohammed Kabir CEO, Corvus Robotics WHEN WHEN IN IN DOUBT FOLLOW THE VALUE –Stephen Dombroski Director, Consumer Markets, QAD | Redzone

CUSTOMER FIRST. When we put the customer at the center, innovation becomes purposeful, teams become aligned, and results follow. Every improvement, no matter how small, creates value when it helps customers succeed. –Tina Goodwin Senior Director, Customer Success, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling BELIEVE. Like Coach Lasso, mine would simply say this. We are masters of our own destiny, and the first step in creating any reality is believing it’s possible. Belief fuels action, action builds momentum, and momentum creates results. –Hooman Yazhari CEO, TEN (Transportation Equipment Network)

PEOPLE POWER THE SUPPLY CHAIN. Give them the clarity, flexibility, and real-time support to keep it moving. Frontline work changes by the minute—workforce decisions should, too. –Robert O’Dwyer Senior Industry Principal, UKG HAPPY BOSS: AWESOME SAUCE. Clear and cheeky. With all things ’90s cool again (parachute pants, what? ), let’s revive workplace motivational posters, which are perfect for return-to-o†ce mandates and reminding corporate worker bees to respect management overlords. Plus, we have bagel Tuesdays. –Jake Taylor Managing Director, ProcureAbility
