“Turn off the radio, Hal.” “I’m sorry, Mark, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”.

Without the right system-aided picking process, you’re paying order pickers to walk, not to pick.

“No… this is coaching. That means I talk, you listen.” Many years ago, those words began a 20 minute session that I can best describe as an “a** chewing.” The boss systematically went through all of the little notes he had been saving for over a year – like the fact that someone had commented that I had a cow lick in my hair one day many months ago, which was framed as “lack of grooming.” None of this, of course, had anything to do with what had t
