Pitfalls of a New Supply Chain Leader
The delightful and insightful Chandhrika Venkataraman published a post in August calling out the first four pitfalls:
1. Trying to prove value too fast
2. Treating suppliers as subordinates
3. Assuming spend authority is decision rights
4. Dismissing value-driven Procurement as vague (or worse, soft)
Today’s article takes those four and adds:
5. Managing up while kicking down
6. Not listening to their team or stakeholders
7. Not delegating to the team
8. Not making time for their team (and not doing one-on-ones regularly and frequently)
9. Thinking they don’t have to “play politics”
