In the highly pressurised world of procurement and supply chain, it's easy to lose sight of the things that matter: kindness, humility, and the odd 'Thank you' here and there.
In this episode, we welcome Neil Marsons, who shares some of the invaluable knowledge he has gleaned from his impressive career in procurement and supply chain.
Neil touches on the essential mindset characteristics CPOs need for a successful career, as well as how to transform procurement into a value-adding business component rather than a reactive function. He also touches on the power of learning from failure, and how kindness and strong relationships can significantly impact an organization's success.
You'll learn:
1. How to shift from reactive to proactive procurement
2. The importance of learning from failures
3. The impact of strong supplier relationships
4. Why kindness is crucial in leadership
5. The role of procurement in sustainability and its contribution to society
