Tip of the Week: GET OUT OF THE WAY

with 2 comments

From the WFP Logistics Blog:

One thing that strikes me about David’s account is his mention of Filomena Nelson and how it was best to just get “out of her way”. Good logistics officers are adept at entering into a chaotic situation, appreciating what has been achieved by local teams and then figuring out how to best complement the system they have in place. By doing so you are often guaranteed a better result than if you were to just rush right and start trying to build your own system.

True dat.

    Boy, it is lonely out here these days. I am one to blame but there just ain’t nothing happening.

    Cheers,
