We're Only Human Work Has Changed at DHL - Here's How The Company is Prioritizing Talent
"Listening without solving... Is really important, because the tendency for a lot of people is when somebody comes to you with an issue, the immediate response is to try and find a solution to the problem when in fact that may not be what you need."
