Seasoned Leadership in Action™ Interview Excerpts: Lessons Learned by Global Leaders

Our fundamental objective at Supply Chain Game Changer is to share experiences and expertise and lessons learned. As such we have focussed on curating a wide range of content and resources that will have relevance to anyone at anytime no matter what their needs may be.

We began our Seasoned Leadership in Action™ Interview series in support of our objective to share experiences and expertise. And hearing from Industry leaders in this interview format has proven to be incredibly popular. People want to hear about the experiences of others and lessons learned from those who have been successful in their fields.

With many of these Seasoned Leadership in Action™ Interviews now published we thought it would be valuable to extract excerpts from these interviews along themes, starting with lessons learned.

As such we are presenting our first compilation of excerpts from these interviews which is focussed on Lessons Learned by these leaders throughout their careers.

Enjoy and look for nuggets of wisdom in these lessons learned.

Starting a New Job? Be a Positive Impact Player to Succeed!

6 Reasons Supply Chain Employees Look For New Jobs!

I have seen many people join a new company and take a new job or leave for another company.

However atleast half of these people will struggle in their new roles and in their new companies. Many will fail altogether.

Business acumen!

It doesn’t really matter what industry, it’s the biggest thing that executives tell us they’re looking for when hiring at the sole contributor level and above. For many executives, it’s even more important than relevant experience.

“If the candidate has business acumen,” the thinking goes, “they’ll be an effective contributor to my team. I can teach the rest later.” Someone who has business acumen just “gets it.” They can figure out their place in a business and quickly learn how to provide value, even if they’ve never done a specific function before.

The concept has taken on almost mystical overtones.

3 Tips for Helping Your Employees Succeed!

How to Plan a Successful Office Fitout!

It is a common practice for workers to complain about their bosses. In the same right, it is practically a right of passage for leaders in a company to complain about their employees when you should be helping your employees.

Let’s get this clear from the start. If you are a leader, don’t do that.

Control what you can control and do what you can to make your employees lives easier. In return, they will take notice and make your life easier as well.

It is important that any business owner or leader accept the fact that their employees will not care about the business as much as they do. This is not strange.It is not a character flaw. It is not their business. The success of the business is not as much of a priority to them as getting their paycheck and doing the work that allows them to support themselves and their family.

Some companies are adopting a new idea, along the lines of ‘my employees do not work for me, I work for them.’

This changes the dynamic of the employer-employee relationship in a powerful way.
