An inspiring journey on the Appalachian Trail beautifully illustrates the critical themes of trust, tools, training, and teamwork, all underscored by the profound impact of community support and personal resilience. In the latest episode of The Connected Teamwork Podcast, Susan Otten, CEO of Indie Do Good | Logistics & Warehousing joins Hylke Faber of Growth Leaders Network and me as she shares her profound insights on leadership, teamwork, and resilience. Susan and I got connected because of our work supporting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Susan shares her remarkable experiences and valuable lessons learned from her journey on the Appalachian Trail, where she raised over $95,000 for Parkinson's research. Her story is not just about the physical challenge but also about the deeper connections formed and the strength of community support. As someone who spends every Monday working alongside her team in the warehouse, Susan’s approach to leadership is hands-on and deeply connected. Her philosophy extends beyond achieving targets; it’s about creating a family-like atmosphere where every team member feels valued and connected. Susan’s story is a testament to resilience, preparation, and the importance of community. Her daughter’s meticulous planning and leadership were crucial to their success, demonstrating the value of having the right tools and training. Moreover, the support they received from strangers along the trail was humbling and inspiring, reinforcing the idea that no one succeeds alone.

Why is getting to work such an issue? Even if you work for a lifeless, soul sucking job, you should still be the hardest, most dependable person there. If you’re not, you won’t get promoted and it could affect your chances of gaining a better job in the future - I wish more people realized this. Take PRIDE in your work and work ethic. Your current situation may suck, but it won’t get any better unless you step it up. Nobody is going to just hand over a high paying job, you’ve gotta earn it. I try to instill this in new hires: you have to earn a position and if you don’t have your ducks in a row, you won’t level up. That being said, it’s also important to offer coaching and guidance, if they are willing to listen and apply the lessons - Hear more on the Dirty and Driven Podcast - #construction #bluecollar #heavyequipment #leadership #business #dirtyanddriven
