Forum Radio talks to Simon Kaye, an Englishman in New York. Simon is a third-generation transportation professional as CEO of Jaguar Freight, founded by him just over thirty years ago. In this episode, Simon talks about the challenges of international logistics and how these have changed in the last five years, as well as moving from a company that had several offices to managing an entirely remote team.
'We do a number of things to ensure that we keep the company culture strong. We have regular all-company meetings but every Friday we all get together on a team call for a "rose and thorn" session, where everyone shares either a positive, a rose, or a negative, a thorn, about their week. It can be personal, it can be business, but it allows everyone to open up, to be vulnerable, and for others to hear what's going on in their colleagues' lives and people who they may not interact with during the rest of the week.'
