Real leadership starts from within. Are you leading based on someone else's playbook? 

A lot of people believe that leadership is something that you learn from books or just pick up from other people. While these can be helpful, you may be leaving your best, authentic leadership potential on the sidelines.

It’s vitally important to realize that leadership comes from within and must be unleashed.

I host Dave Broering, President of Integrated Logistics Solutions at NFI. He leads the Freight Brokerage, Intermodal, Global Freight Forwarding, and 4PL services. He shares a strategy you can use to immediately unlock your authentic leadership.

With his team, he has fostered rapid growth across all four business units via both organic growth and acquisition. NFI is one of the largest privately held 3PL’s in the US, focusing on warehousing services, dedicated trucking, drayage and transloading services along with the Integrated Logistics services to the market.

He's spent his entire professional career of 25 years in the logistics industry. He's developed an expertise in creating fast-growing and efficient operations focused on world class account management and execution of services.

Dave began his career in logistics with American Backhaulers, a privately held 3PL that was subsequently acquired by CH Robinson just two years into his career. In staying on with CH Robinson for 12 more years, Dave found a blend of technological focus and operational execution as a key to success inside this large publicly held 3PL.
