"Your Leadership Footprint in Economically Troubled Times: Using Simplicity to Buoy Performance and Results"

Tom Schmitt
President and Chief Executive Officer
FedEx Global Supply Chain Services
and
Senior Vice President
FedEx Solutions

Session Description:
Leadership or a lack of it–more than the economy, competitive threats, or any other factor–is what makes or breaks companies. The business world is a sea of ever-increasing complexity and rapid change, particularly when combined with uncontrollable economic tides. Rather than succumbing to reactionary behaviors and knee-jerk solutions, executives can lead their organizations to success by focusing on simplicity to achieve results and anchor their companies firmly in the marketplace.

Tom Schmitt, president and CEO of FedEx Global Supply Chain Services, will present thought-provoking concepts for achieving such difference-making leadership. He will draw both on the power of the "FedEx DNA," as well as personal leadership observations.
