I am a retired shipping executive with over 25 years of experience at a major container terminal in the Americas. I'm proud to have been part of a team that achieved record-setting productivity despite facing tough economic times. We aimed to ensure the terminal operated at peak efficiency and worked tirelessly to achieve this. Our success resulted from worker buy-in and significant team synergies, which I have written about in my memoir. The memoir follows the main character's path, depicting his growth and evolution, and serves as a reminder that anything is possible when a team is dedicated to a common goal.
