Recommendation

Logistics giant DHL was hemorrhaging hundreds of millions annually before Ken Allen became its global CEO. Allen turned the company around, making it a success and a place where people love to work. Allen explains how he did it, and shares useful thoughts on business. If you ask a DHL courier what flipped the company’s fortunes, he or she would cite sharp training, a shared vocabulary, best practices and Allen’s work as CEO.

Take-Aways

  • DHL has a complex history.
  • Aviation played a major role in DHL’s history.
  • DHL’s struggles in the United States led Deutsche Post to put Ken Allen in charge.
