[QUOTE="Thebrowntruth, post: 100054"] Ups_vette, First thanks for that many years of service to the company. Second, if my post appeared to be condisending, to you or anyone, i do apoligize. I would suggest you read the comment again to which I responded and perhaps you will have a better understanding of my intentions. You stated that true leadership comes from having the respect of those you lead. I would argue regardless if the leader is in business, the military, etc. a leader is far more likely to gain the respect of those they lead by having already lived the experiences he/she is preparing the group for. Life at UPS has changed a great deal since you left my friend. There will continue to be a decrease in the number of on road supervisors and managers (as related to the number of drivers). A good member of management is "to let the employee know what is expected of them and hold them accountable". I could do this each and every day by simply detailing expected SPORH, over-allowed, etc by driver and holding the teamster contract book tightly next to the policy book. I wont contest a single bit of wisdom or experience you gained in your many dedicated years at UPS. Please allow me the courtesy of admitting that perhaps the company has changed as the times have. There isnt the time in an operations managers day to simply crack the whip and hold accountable. I need and rely on buy-in from everyone to make up for the physical resourcecs me lack today. In conclusion, i'll still cast my occasional stone at IE. Our peak season was marked by a 20-30% understatement of volume and stops. Yet even a "leader" like me was able to guide a little corner of UPS through it, beating our cost and production targets and one of the top 3 improvements in ERI for the year. The credit i deserve = NONE. Ill defer it all to my employees. I have no time or desire for ego so again i apoligize if i gave you the wrong impression [/QUOTE]
