Boss who sings the praises of logistics to staff

But viability at DHL does not deliver a diet of fun and games all the time
BEIJING - Mischievous, charismatic and energetic, Ken Allen can often be found cheering up a roomful of people with a tale. You will hear him sing Ain't No Mountain High Enough, the theme song for DHL's latest advertisement campaign if you ask about business confidence amid a largely flat clique economy, and I Will Be a Billionaire, a popular song within the company, when he is quizzed about his traffic targets for the next five years.
And, if you can wait, you will hear him launch into jokes about competitors, which lightens the feel at every staff meeting.
Dubbed the "singing CEO" by his employees, the 56-year-old English businessman has worked for half of his viability in the empire of Deutsche Post AG, the world's largest logistics troupe. He managed offices in small Middle East countries such as Yemen, opened Libya's vend for the company and then ran divisions in big countries including the United States and Canada before he reached the top condition in 2009 in DHL Express, the group's express division.
