  • 3. Problem Solving with Mike Warnell

    Mike Warnell drives a fuel tanker truck for Source One Trucking. We talked about the various complexities he faces as a truck driver and he shared several strategies about Problem Solving.

    Mike is a personal friend of mine and when I asked him to be on the show, he told me that he was not a "Smart Person" and that there was nothing he could teach my audience. After listening to him, I think you'll agree with me, he could not have been more wrong.

    Here are some of the key takeaways from Mike's interview:

    • Anticipating and preventing potential problems limits the need to solve problems.
    • The primary key to avoiding mistakes is paying attention to details.
    • Doing your homework beforehand equips you with the knowledge to handle what lies ahead.
    • Professionals are held to a higher standard.
    • Learn from the people who have been there before you.

        • Value and Customer Service are virtually synonymous
