Synopsis
Plans rarely survive first contact with reality. This book brings to life what it takes to adapt, problem-solve, and lead through the gaps no plan anticipates.
Drawing on 25 years of building and leading global supply chains, trade compliance, and logistics operations, Jarrod Kuhn shows how instinct, humility, respect, and grit mark the difference between managing and truly leading. Along the way, he introduces his field-tested 3P Framework—Protect, Pilot & Patch—a practical guide to overcoming threats while fueling innovation. With laugh-out-loud stories and hard-won clarity, this is leadership tested and forged under pressure.
What you’ll learn:
Protect: anticipate risk, safeguard margin, and keep projects moving
Pilot: test fast, learn faster, and scale what works
Patch: fix what matters, close gaps, and finish strong
Real-world leadership: quiet diplomacy, earned trust, and results that last
Global execution: factories, timelines, tariffs, and compliance—without losing your humanity
Who it’s for: supply chain and operations leaders, founders, and rising managers who need practical wins in the real world.
About the author: Certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt, he has been recognized as a Supply Chain & Logistics “Rainmaker” by DC Velocity. A proven leader in global operations and trade for world-renowned brands, Jarrod holds both an MBA and a JD, is a Customs Expert, admitted Federal Maritime Commission practitioner and designated by CSULB's Center of International Trade & Transportation as a Global Logistics Specialist.
