LYFT
“ This vision really ‘ jives ’ perfectly with Lyft ’ s mentality as a broader company . We have an exceptional culture that promotes healthy debate ,” he says .
Greenberger expands on this and what he means when it comes to setting goals : “ I take significant pride in the trust and reputation that we have built with our internal team members , and to me , that defines the power of our team ' s ability to deliver against super aggressive targets .”
“ Super Aggressive Targets ?” That sounds impressive but what does that mean ?
Greenberger explains : “ Data-driven decision making and focusing on our core competencies is priority thinking . It ’ s that mentality that is really a supply chain team ’ s dream , and helps us focus on hitting aggressive goals we set for ourselves .”
Greenberger is driven to ensure his teams at Lyft are undeniably ‘ best in class ’.
“ They really differentiate themselves from other supply chain teams in the industry ,” he says . “ Not only does that play out in our results as a supply chain team , but I also see how we support our internal stakeholders has unlocked efficiencies for the business to deliver against the company ’ s core mission without distraction .”
The upshot of this , according to Greenberger , is allowing his people to ‘ hyper focus ’ on customers and make sure they are being delivered the best products day-to-day .
