TOPIC: It’s Not About You!: What Supply Chain Leaders Can Learn from Military Training
Marine Corps Officers train to lead teams into combat and accomplish the mission. While supply chain leaders are not in actual war, recent global challenges have increased the level of daily chaos exponentially. This speech takes the audience on a journey through Marine Corps Officer training and highlights ways in which the principles can be leveraged in the supply chain management field. Instilling selfless leadership values in a company not only helps to retain top talent but also breeds compassionate and agile leaders of the future.
