“When people know you care, they’re going to care too.”

A bachelor’s degree in communications, a master’s in leadership education, and a doctorate in training and development may not sound like the traditional path to a 37-year career in logistics safety, but for Dr. John Holland, they were steps that would lead to a vocation that, as he puts it, “loves and gets him out of bed in the morning.” Now the Safety Director at Venture Logistics, John discovered his affinity for safety while on a course he thought would lead him to a career in Human Resources (HR). Join us for this episode and learn more about why John changed his plan to pursue HR, his thoughts on the importance of leading with positivity and through storytelling, and how he uses a personal tragedy to emphasize the importance of road safety to his drivers.
