In his last corporate role Jack served as Senior VP leading a $300 million division with 800 employees working at 25 locations around the country. Several years ago, Jack co-developed and presented a 12-hour workshop on leadership for all US managers of ID Logistics which is based in France but does business in 18 countries. That workshop was expanded to 16 hours at the request of Kuehne & Nagel – world’s #2 freight forwarder - with 80,000 employees in 100 countries – where Jack trained all of their US managers in leadership.
Recently Jack condensed his leadership material into a one-hour program he presented at the annual conference of the Council of Supply Chane Management Professionals. One of the attendees wrote that he learned more about leadership in Jack’s one hour workshop than in all his college courses together.
