- For people in certain careers, it can be difficult to see the lasting effect or significance of their work. Terry Esper dives into his journey on how he made the connections between his ancestry, family, and his work in logistics, and how those connections changed the way he thought about his work. Terry describes his "lightbulb moment" and how he has gained a deeper satisfaction from his work due to the connections that he has made. Dr. Terry L. Esper is Associate Professor of Logistics at the Fisher College of Business of The Ohio State University. In addition to his full-time academic activities, Esper also serves as Co-Chair of the Academic Strategies Committee for the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, and is an Educational Advisor to the Health and Personal Care Logistics Conference. He has published several articles on issues associated with retail logistics and supply chain management strategy in leading academic and managerial outlets, including Journal of Business Logistics, Journal of Operations Management and Journal of Retailing. In addition, he is a regular speaker at global conferences, where he builds on his research insights and accumulated experiences to engage in dialogue regarding trends and issues in logistics and supply chain management practice, and is a regular featured guest on a Sirius XM Radio show. Prior to his Doctoral studies in Marketing and Logistics at the University of Arkansas, Esper worked for Hallmark Cards as a Transportation Manager and was involved in transportation infrastructure research for the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Logistics is what I train, teach, train, and mentor people on. It is a big part of my life. Anyone who is not in logistics needs to take a look into it as a career. It is an amazing industry that can change your life.
It' was fantastic, a mix of logistic, history and psychology
Todo lugar que vou na Internet, eu encontro um BR. Vamos conquistar o mundo! Haha
People are used to using logistics for make to grow a company, to the product crosses borders or make known something from my country etc; Sometimes we ignore that logistics is to connect us, for communication between society, nations, between the world.
The COVID-19 is an example, because medicines, equipment and even people are sent.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages; a disadvantage is that the human being stays at home because they receives everything at the door, but this action also reduces time, companies innovate their services, and in the case of the COVID-19, the sales aren't longer face-to-face.
On the other hand, I had no idea of the discrimination a person could experience when is buying something, but now I will apply it and change my conception of what logistics is.
Definitely, an absolute tool to fight COVID-19
I've watched a ton of TED Talks through my undergrad and graduate years, this was by far the best! Thank you for this, I certainly learned a ton and have a new respect for logistics.
I'm studying logistics and supply Chain mangement.
I will have BA Degree in this year!
Connecting your vocational purpose to your personal experience is critical in gaining a renewed sense of respect for what you do and what niche your work fulfills in society . Tying logistics and supply chain management to the dignity that anonymity brought to the African American was BRILLIANT. Proud to call Dr. Esper a friend, colleague and now a thought leader in this industry!!
Camille TV, couldn’t agree more. You need to tie your personal to your vocational. It brings that greater sense of purpose that Dr. Esper talked about.
I NEVER thought of logistics in this sense before but it makes absolute sense. It’s amazing to think that what we do can provide value in unseen and unsung ways.
Can you kindly share his e-mail address with me.
Been in logistics for 20 years. All modes. Ground, ocean, air, intermodal etc. Have loved every second of it.
whats it like?? going for Distribution and supply chain management while I'm working at Amazon
@@souncivilized8577 Do it. You'll never look back or question your decision buddy. It's pretty much the only industry that will never be effected by external issues. Even when we get to autonomy with trucks, commerce will always have to get from a to b. It is by far, the most sustainable profession to be in. Do it .
Very well done. I'm proud to count this amazing human being as a friend. Keep it up, Dr. Esper!
Can you kindly share his e-mail address if you have it.
This was very powerful and inspirational. Thank you Dr. Terry Esper!
It was great speech!!! I am studying logistics at the moment in College and you have inspired me to try to make this world a better place with the help of my proffession! Thank you!
this is good philosophy
when a person does something he/she needs to make it personal, otherwise result won't be alive
How HUGE impact it makes to hear about sth from sb who LOVES the thing rather than from a formal article or what! Just wonderful 💫
Оооо доктор Эспер. Обожаю его слушать. Это удивительная индустрия. Она может изменить нашу жизнь. Я верю ему. Я его рассматриваю как карьеру для себя. Отличная речь!!! Я многому научилась и по новому уважаю логистику😊
Very powerful presentation! Some of this background I already knew, some I didn't. I've been in transportation and logistics for 6.5 years. I've lately struggled with with wondering if this industry is for me... This presentation gives me a newfound sense/appreciation for what I do and also for what all participants directly and indirectly contribute to the field. I want to say thank you for all your commitment and passion to the field! Very sincerely.
So well said and POWERFULLY AGREE!!!!
Great talk. I run a cabinet shop in Toronto and do mostly kitchen renovations. People in the home renovation industry don't think enough about logistics. Good logistics makes the difference between a home renovation being an exiting adventure for the client or soul destroying financial disaster. I read a book on spray painting a few years back, and the author said the efficiency of your paint operation will not depend on how fast you can spray but how quickly you can move things in and out of your paint booth. This applies to just about everything in construction.
this is a really inspiring, moving, insightful and enlightening presentation.
Thoroughly enjoyable and beneficial, who would've thought that logistics could be so instrumental in a social context outside of business!
My gratitude is extended to Dr Esper, Fisher College of Business of Ohio State University and Tedx.
It's a mindblow. It's beautiful, logistics is my life.
Do you recommend to study logistics management?
@@abxxd. sure its great! But study before and take your decision. Dont let others think for yo.
@@natanguilhermelima
This major (logistics management) needs top marks in the university I want to go to as I was in the commerce branch of the school so I really know some basics about management and related subjects
@@natanguilhermelima what about salary and jop opportunity ?
And where I can get more information ??
Thank you for sharing your lightbulb moment! This is extremely motivating.
Completely new lens to look at logistics through. Thank you!
This was the "talk" I desired as I switch career paths. Thank you!
Good luck for Your dreams! I'm in a career change too!
Wow how beautifully this professor put things together. How a conceptual system when implemented can change lives. It was really a wonderful TedX Talk
Thank you, Terry! I am just coming across this youtube video, you did an incredible job on this teaching!!
This was AMAZING!! Thank you so much for your spectacular speech!
Now you have me thinking Mr. Esper. Thank You!
FACTS!!!
Wow what an awesome presentation. I didn't realize that I would learn something by watching this video and not knowing that I have been in logistics all along. Would love to enroll into his class to learn more about logistics and supply chain management!
Wow a very good presentation in my opinion. A lot of the people I know who work in logistics or supply chain management don't really know how important their work is! Logistics has been a very important factor in our history. In this day and age anyway.
It was amazing to learn about logistics so deeply
It's amazing, thank you!!!
I loved this video. Our purpose is so key and seeing how logistics can fit into the society and evoke feelings of dignity was a perspective shift. This really makes you want to dive deep into what else we do and what it can impact.
I work in logistics and what I say that I do is deliver memories to the dinner table. Our company is in poultry and we are the hens on your table at Christmas or the chicken on your pizza or in your chicken salad. Delivering memories connects much more than if I said I ship chicken from A to B.
Blitz War I wish I knew a little more of your background because any answer I give will really be superficial.
Is a degree in logistics and supply worth it? I would need to know where you possibly see yourself using it. That degree would give you a better understanding and allow you to be instantly more valuable to a company, but no... you don’t have to get a degree in this industry to play a key part in it.
Depending on what your focus would be during the time of your studies, would really direct what you can do with it. It would be something incredibly versatile because in every industry there are aspects of logistics and supply chain.
The last question you lose is interesting, and makes me want to know why you asked it. Without knowing that reason, this is potentially, depending on level and sector, one of the most demanding and exhausting fields you could choose. This is truly a 24/7 industry.
Blitz War knowing that you just graduated, congratulations by the way, gives me context for this next answer. I would say don’t be so concerned about the question of what to major in. There is nothing wrong with coming into college with no clue or even half a clue like you have. Since you feel at this time, Logistics and supply chain may be a good choice, continue stepping in that direction. Take a couple classes but know that even after your freshman year is done, you can change to another major or focus and it wouldn’t have been a waste of your time.
Since you don’t have much work experience, this is also the best time for you to get it; there are plenty of companies that would hire interns and people part time, even with your lack of experience. Learn and try as much as you can. Reach out to the companies in your area and let them know that your are interested to learn the industry.
You are correct in hearing that this degree is flexible and that it can lead to other industries and other focuses. This degree would give you a nice background that could take you all over the world. It just depends on how you want to actually apply it. Knowing that takes time and many more conversations but just take a step in one direction and see where that path takes you.
You are also correct in that this industry can take a negative toll on your personal life, but so can every other job in any industry that you can name. The one difference is that depending on what position you take, it can be a 24/7 type of job. There are great rewards that can come from that but it is all about the company you align yourself with and the boundaries you put in place. I’m sure you don’t mind hard work, but it also takes you realizing that you are not entitled to anything, especially in this industry, and it takes time to get to a place where you have more freedom and autonomy to do what you want. In getting to that place; you will have to make sacrifices, but remember, you don’t want to make it to the pinnacle of any career and look around to see no one else with you.
Get out there and take a step, see where it leads. Make sure you have some older and more seasoned folks in your life to ask the tough questions and make sure you are sticking to the boundaries you put in place. Oh and welcome to the club of those of us who stumbled into what is a great industry. Remember one last thing if you continue down this rabbit whole, as big as this industry is, it’s actually very small. You will start to realize as time goes on that you are more connected than you think and that everyone seems to know all the folks you know as well. Your personal reputation matters in a very big way.
Blitz War heck nah. It technically depends on where you end up but with the right team and programs, not being the best at math won’t destroy your future in this industry at all. Good luck and keep us all posted with how the first semester goes.
Blitz War how’d your first semester go
I would to know more about this field of study... I am planning on taking Logistics this year but am still in dilemma as to if this field is right for me...
As one who was bitten by the supply chain management bug 12 years ago as an MBA student, this was a damn-good talk.
Outstanding Presentation 92!
Superb presentation. Great examples/stories that helped understand the real power of logistics.
This was a great well done presentation!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Great dialog, I enjoyed how you tide the history lesson into it.
Amazing speech!
Fantastic perspective
Great job and powerful
You remind me of someone I could trust. Yes, You, my man...
Thank you Dr. Terry Esper for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Ooooh my God, I dream to be like this professor. Yes I have diploma in logistics and wish to be a master in it . how can I apply to this university, but finance is my problem, "education is made for the rich" I will not give up until I become, I love logistics with passion
very inspirational, thank you
Amazing presentation.

Absolutely Beautilful

This made me want to study logistics
Angelo Matthew S. Narciso do it ! It’s fantastic
@@lozzawhite858 do u study it
I LOVE IT!!!
Great great presentation
Logistics wins wars
Of course!!. Very good, indeed.
Woow such a great expression. Before watch this video logistic was the thing that delivering product from a to b but now I see that delivering something to somebody is a key point to create better social environment which we always want to be in.
Iconic
Think about providing the world with dignity and access to a better life!
That connect between I, the job/career and the world; and giving everyone ease, life, joy, encouragement, satisfaction, a reason... to utilize or make use of the product, service... and enjoy what they get from it - satisfaction...
Really good talk!
I really would like to share with my friends here in Brazil. I wish a portuguese subtitle asap
Great ideas.
This is so interesting
Am currently a logistics student

I was looking for logistics
Do you recommend to study logistics management ?
Gr88 inspirational
Amen!
There was some information that I didn't even know when it came to the boycott When it comes down to logistics I have to do more research on Rufus Lewis
at first I was like meh me me me, at the end ahhh it all make sense lol and it's "cool"
good structure
❤️
💯❤️🔥
Still waiting for the logistics part to start lol
👎He isn't really speaking about logistics, but about anonimity that courier delivery provides. Like, when you don't need to leave your home to get to supermarket, you can be more yourself. And not wear "sunday clothes". But the downside of it is that you hiss on sunlight and wear the same trousers for whole week. Anonimity ≠ dignity. Logistics ≠ dignity.
6:52 The guy farthest back on the left side needs to get off his phone, he's missing a brilliant speech
I tuned out once identity politics was incorporated.
I was thinking if he could explain the logistics process. But he is talking about racism problems in America. But nice points here 11:00
came here to learn about logistics. got a lecture on slavery instead....mericans...
Being an Indian i acknowledge what you said 😂
don’t let everyone know you weren’t smart enough to draw the message out girl😂😂keep that to yourself!!!!
This has nothing to do with logistics
Was hoping to learn more about logistics, instead hes talking about racism? Why not have a TEDx talk about that instead?
Are you talking about logistics or it’s non sense correlation with race. Tired of these people trying to always be the victim in every aspect. CLICKBAIT!
This is so sexist. Not all shoppers are women. I like online shopping and I'm a man.
Connecting your vocational purpose to your personal experience is critical in gaining a renewed sense of respect for what you do and what niche your work fulfills in society . Tying logistics and supply chain management to the dignity that anonymity brought to the African American was brilliant. Proud to call Dr. Esper a friend, colleague and now a thought leader in this industry!!
