Power
While you won't be governing your own micronation located in the North Sea anytime soon, you'll find power of a different sort during your many adventures as a logistician. Since you follow the entire life cycle of a product, your decisions have an incredible amount of influence over it, spanning from price point to delivery times.
That might not seem like power to you at first, but consider the logistician managing medical supplies or refugee kits. And how about the one managing chairs? Seriously. We bet you're in a chair right now. What would happen to the world without chairs? It would all fall apart, that's what.
Even if the product itself isn't as "vital" as something like cancer medication—say, chairs, for example—it can still affect the people and the businesses that sell it. A small shop with a small inventory can't open its doors with nothing to offer, putting paid employee hours and store profits at risk anytime there's a shipping delay. A Taco Bell without tacos is just a bell—and no one's driving to buy a tiny ringing instrument on a 4:00AM munchies run.
