“You don’t have to be at the top of the food chain to be a leader; you can lead from any position. I’ve learned to be confident in that and then create other leaders. I like to share my knowledge with others and create more leaders.”

– Charles Walker, Army Master Sergeant (Ret.)

“The decisions that you’re making now have to be in line with where you want the company to be 5-10 years from now. That’s very important and you should be very, very clear with your team about that.”

– Enrique Alvarez, Managing Director at Vector Global Logistics and Host of Supply Chain Now en Español
