CASE STUDY: Ethics by Gandhiji

Gandhiji, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, was a leader of the Indian


independence movement and a champion of nonviolence, truth, and justice. He was
deeply influenced by various religious and philosophical traditions, such as
Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Christianity. He developed his ethical system
based on the following principles; ahimsa (nonviolence or respect for all living
beings), satya (truth or honesty), aparigraha (non-attachment or non-
possessiveness), swaraj (self-rule or autonomy), and sarvodaya (welfare of all or
universal upliftment). Logistics management can benefit from applying the ethics of
Gandhiji and the professional ethics of their field. Applying ahimsa to logistics
management means avoiding or reducing any environmental or social harm caused
by the transportation and distribution of goods and services. For example, using eco-
friendly vehicles and packaging, minimizing waste and emissions, and supporting
local and ethical suppliers and producers. Applying satya to logistics management
means being honest and transparent with the customers and stakeholders about the
status and quality of the goods and services. For example, providing accurate and
timely information, tracking and tracing the shipments, and ensuring the delivery and
satisfaction of the customers. Applying aparigraha to logistics management means
being efficient and effective with the use of resources and minimizing the costs and
expenses of the logistics operations. For example, optimizing the inventory levels,
reducing the lead times, and improving the productivity and profitability of the
logistics processes. Applying swaraj to logistics management means being
autonomous and self-reliant in the logistics decisions and actions and not depending.

CASE STUDY: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership

To make leadership concrete, the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership break the


subject into tangible qualities that anyone could learn especially in relation to
logistics management. The law of the lid states that leadership ability determines a
person's level of effectiveness. In logistics management, this means that the leader's
skills and vision will affect the performance and potential of the logistics system. A
leader with a high lid can optimize the logistics processes, reduce costs, improve
customer satisfaction, and achieve strategic goals. A leader with a low lid will limit the
logistics capabilities, waste resources, create bottlenecks, and miss opportunities.
The law of influence states that leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.
In logistics management, this means that the leader's ability to persuade and
motivate others will determine the success of the logistics operations. A leader with a
high influence can build trust, collaboration, and commitment among the logistics
stakeholders, such as suppliers, customers, employees, and partners. A leader with
a low influence will face resistance, conflict, and dissatisfaction among the logistics
stakeholders. The law of process states that leadership develops daily, not in a day.
In logistics management, this means that the leader's growth and improvement are
continuous and gradual. A leader with a high process can learn from experience,
feedback, and best practices, and apply them to the logistics challenges and
opportunities. A leader with a low process will stagnate, repeat mistakes, and fail to
adapt to the changing logistics environment.
