Abstract:

Organizations are looking for entry-level management personnel, but also hoping that they will select people who will have the ability to become senior executives in later years. What the shippers and carriers would like to find is a here-and-now set of qualifications, and a later-years prospect of substantial advancement and responsibility in the organization. This paper is based in part on the views and experience of a number of outstanding senior executives from rail, highway, and water transport, and from the shippers. Topics covered include selection criteria, prospects for significant advancement, examples of personnel who have determination and imagination, personnel who demonstrate good judgement, and what educators, government officials, and business executives can do to enhance the development of determination, imagination, and judgment in the next generation of transportation professionals.
