Chapter 9: Just in Time Followership

Christine Guerrier is an 18 year old, part-time supervisor who works for J.I.T., a small parcel shipping company. She was recruited through the local community college she attends. Her first job at the company was to unload packages from tractor-trailers at 4 o’clock in the morning. Christine was eager to prove herself as the only female on her crew, and so she made sure to empty more trailers each shift than any of her coworkers. Her productivity and “go-getter” attitude were noticed by her supervisor, which led to several promotions, first to continuously greater responsibilities as an hourly employee, and ultimately to a supervisory role.
