Incredible book!
I'm about a quarter of the way through this and loving it! As a DHL employee, it's great to learn a little bit more about the history of the company and also see all these initiatives day to day that Ken and his team set up. Ken is so down to earth and such a likeable person. This book is such an incredible read! Recommend for anyone interested in business but also personal development - it's really teaching me, as you can imagine, to stop overthinking things and just keep things simple!
