  • [05:43] There is no way you can progress in your career if you don’t have the ability to build great relationships.
  • [08:17] How do understanding the four elements of supply chain and international exposure fit in the framework of leadership skills?
  • [10:36] As a leader, you’ve got to get people with you on the journey. Because if you are walking alone, that is not leadership at all it is just taking a walk.
  • [15:42] What is your advice to companies in terms of developing supply chain talent? 
  • [16:13] You should not have people in leadership positions who are not good with people.
  • [19:28] Giving people opportunities to develop, to change, and to take on new opportunities is an incredible way for companies to develop talents.
  • [22:50] What would be your advice to leaders on how they can manage different kinds of groups?
  • [24:36] Make sure you understand your team and understand where they’re coming from. Most of the time they’re going to have different desires and wants, and it’s not like one is better than the others, it’s just different cause we are people.
