Product Description
by Kuhn (Author)
Plans rarely survive first contact with reality. This book brings to life what it takes to adapt, problem-solve, and lead through the gaps no plan anticipates.
Drawing on 25 years of building and leading global supply chains, trade compliance, and logistics operations, Jarrod Kuhn shows how instinct, humility, respect, and grit mark the difference between managing and truly leading. Along the way, he introduces his field-tested 3P Framework-Protect, Pilot & Patch-a practical guide to overcoming threats while fueling innovation. With laugh-out-loud stories and hard-won clarity, this is leadership tested and forged under pressure.
What you'll learn:
- Protect: anticipate risk, safeguard margin, and keep projects moving
- Pilot: test fast, learn faster, and scale what works
- Patch: fix what matters, close gaps, and finish strong
- Real-world leadership: quiet diplomacy, earned trust, and results that last
- Global execution: factories, timelines, tariffs, and compliance-without losing your humanity
Who it's for: supply chain and operations leaders, founders, and rising managers who need practical wins in the real world.
