As a supply chain specialist having worked both Oil & Gas as well as Technology, I've seen a lot of people walking out of college into entry level jobs with steep learning curves. I have witnessed small companies make sizable mistakes, and large companies struggle with constant logistics problems. The Logistics Advantage is a book that I have composed to shorten the learning curve of fresh out of college students entering the field, to help small business owners trying to better themselves, and to help out industry professionals trying to get a better understanding in the field of logistics as it is still a difficult concept to master for most businesses. One thing that sets apart The Logistics Advantage from other logistics or supply chain books, is that this book approaches logistics as a set of common-sense guidelines that cut down the learning curves and helps avoid costly amateur mistakes.I start the book with a few notes on building a mindset suited for logistics and encouraging personal development of crucial skills useful to logisticians, then I drill down into some more technical aspects of the field of transportation.

“Has the potential to transform how all companies are run…Nothing could be more valuable!”—Mark Drewell, CEO, Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative (GRLI) From two of the world’s most successful business leaders comes Common-Sense Business—an accessible, actionable guide to better leadership, increased profits, and a more sustainable economic model predicated on prudence and socially conscious business. Common sense and prudence have long been among the guiding tenets of society, but in today’s economy they have been completely abandoned in the interest of blindly maximizing profits. Common-Sense Business shows that this current economic model is both detrimental and unsustainable, and that we must transform the global economy along the lines of common sense toward the common good. Ted Malloch, a thought leader and policy influencer in global economic strategy, and Whitney MacMillan, the former chairman and CEO of the world’s largest private corporation, draw on recent research, history’s greatest minds, and their own successes to explain that ethically driven business is both a moral and financial necessity. Inspired by Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, this work explains to readers in all walks of life that ethically driven business will lead to better long-term profits, larger customer bases and more positive customer relations, and a holistically improved business. This book is a must-read for business owners, entrepreneurs, students, and businessmen and women in all sectors of the economy.
