Transport damages, legal risks and chaotic processes – many problems in logistics are homegrown. They arise from missing structures, unclear responsibilities and a lack of leadership. In his new book published by HUSS-VERLAG, “Vom Leider zum Leiter”, logistics consultant Christian Schmid calls for a rethink and provides practical impulses for more clarity, structure and future security in daily operations. LOGISTIK HEUTE also
appears in the HUSS-VLERAG.
The book is aimed at both newcomers and experienced logisticians alike. It contains real examples from more than twelve years of practice and makes clear: logistics is a team affair – but only with good leadership. For without clear structures and responsibilities, automation and digitization are of little use.
In his daily professional life, Christian Schmid often encounters
statements such as: "Unfortunately, there was an accident" or "Unfortunately, we had transport damages." For him, these formulations express an attitude that accepts problems instead of actively addressing them. Therefore, his approach is: move away from reacting, toward shaping – and thus toward greater efficiency and safety.
“From the Unfortunate to the Leader” is a call for self-reflection – and a practically
oriented working tool for all those who want to manage staff in logistics not merely to supervise them, but to lead them responsibly.
