Dwight A. Ferrell | Leadership Thought For Today -

Plans are only the starting point.
Execution is where credibility is built.

It’s not about how much is on your agenda—
it’s about what actually gets delivered.

- Prioritize what matters.
- Track what counts.
- Remove what slows progress.

Because in leadership, results speak louder than intentions.

Lead clearly. Communicate consistently. Deliver results.

Today we honor Juneteenth with a special SMART bus wrap showcasing our journey from the Emancipation Proclamation to today. 🚌✨ This visual timeline celebrates freedom and underscores our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

As we reflect on this significant day, let's remember the importance of unity and the ongoing journey towards equality. Our work in public transit is about more than routes—it's about connecting communities and building a more inclusive future. 🌍

Let's ride together towards understanding and unity. Happy Juneteenth! 🎉

What a memorable @NFL Draft weekend in @CityofDetroit ! As @smart_movesus, General Manager, I had the unique pleasure of connecting with fans wearing jerseys from each state I've lived in.

This wasn't just about football—it was a celebration of the communities and stories that public transit helps to unite.

[Dwight A Ferrell @DwightAFerrell]

The @NFL Draft was a touchdown for Detroit, with a record 700,000 fans! @smart_movesus connected people from Wayne, Oakland, & Macomb counties to the action. Public transit didn’t just move people—it moved communities closer together. Thanks to everyone who rode with us to make this event unforgettable! 🚌 #lifesmartyou

@MarriottBonvoy Complaint Part 3: The 1st person told me it would take 30 minutes for the system to process my password change. The 4th person told me it would take five business days for the system to correct itself and for me to attempt to log in then. Abysmal Service!

@MarriottBonvoy Complaint Part 2: The website has locked me out and sent me to a page directing me to call [phone] to confirm my identity. I called @MarriottBonvoy four times today and was given four different responses.
