Listen to the inspiring interview of Mark McCullough, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss North America, on Ben Fanning’s “Lead the Team” podcast. Mark provided leadership insights gleaned from his twenty-eight years of supply chain and logistics experience, including eighteen years at Gebrüder Weiss where he started as a salesperson and worked his way up to becoming an executive.
The discussion began with a lighthearted look back at childhood and lessons that inform his career today, including his first experience with transporting goods: a paper route at age eleven that he says gave him his strong work ethic.
Mark’s parting leadership advice: Empower and trust your teams. Give them the knowledge they need to do their jobs with room to make their own mistakes. He believes this management approach can provide ongoing benefits to an organization for years to come.
