HOW TO
YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN CAREER ACE Want to be in a class of your own? These supply chain practitioners have some notes.
My Best Tip for Advancing Your Supply Chain Career
Take advantage of your organization’s mentoring program or find your own mentor. Leaders have an obligation to support, coach, and lift up the next generation of employees. I would not be where I am today without sponsorship from mentors.
Become an expert. The world is increasingly reliant on the global supply chain. To have in-depth knowledge of all subjects in the global supply chain can take many professionals a lifetime. Home in on an area you are passionate
about and become a specialist. Solving complex problems and delivering strategic projects is not child’s play. Hence, being a person around the table that can speak with authority and experience is hugely valuable to any organization. –Neil McEvoy Vice President, Customer Experience, C3 Solutions
A mentor should be your truth teller—ensuring you see the reality of your actions or inactions. A great mentor gives you perspective and challenges your thinking. These relationships are invaluable no matter the direction of your career. –Marcia Brey Vice President of Distribution, GE Appliances, a Haier company
