Management in not enough, become a leader, what logistics industry needs in the hour of crisis. Find out the key skills you need to develop into a leader and why logistics managers need to transition into logistics leaders in the new industry landscape.

What is wrong with logistics management

The pre-pandemic way of doing things is no longer working in logistics. The industry is facing mass resignations, labour shortages, and employee demands for better work-life balance. Covid-19 acted as a catalyst that changed the future world of work in logistics. 

40% of the employees who quit in the Great Resignation quit due to burnout and 20%  cited lack of flexibility as a reason. MIT Sloan reported that the logistics industry had a 7% attrition rate from April 2021 to September 2021.

Their research also found that toxic workplace culture is the top cause of resignation – 10.4 times more likely to cause attrition than bad pay. The popular quip, people leave managers, not jobs, is true.  

Many of the professionals who are leaving take to freelance work, using their expertise to work for themselves. Most such employees happen to be top talent.

If organizations want their investment in leadership development to more fully pay off, it is essential that they prioritize mindset development — specifically by targeting growth, learning, deliberative, and promotion leader mindsets.

Leaders with a growth mindset tend to focus more on the process rather than just the outcome. On the opposite end, we have a fixed mindset. This mindset believes that people’s basic qualities, such as intelligence and talent, are fixed traits that can’t be changed or developed. Leaders with a fixed mindset are results-oriented to the extreme.

Taking Leadership Beyond Fixed And Growth Mindsets

Leaders who believe in the growth mindset are more likely to hire millennials, establish open work environments that promote teamwork and give their employees autonomy. They’ll also offer comprehensive training programs so workers can continuously develop new skill sets.

When you have a growth mindset, it actually stimulates your brain to learn new things with the help of neuroplasticity—a process where neural connections rewire themselves when they’re used repeatedly for particular tasks or functions over an extended period of time.

While the fixed mindset locks people into patterns, the growth mindset unlocks hidden potential.
