SUrvey Results: Supply Chain Leader of Future
Supply Chain Leadership Development Priorities
While there are many important aspects of talent management, the intent of this survey was to help identify the skills necessary for the Supply Chain Leader of the Future. Specifically, the objective is to help the industry prioritize the leadership training and development opportunities. Our healthcare supply chain future depends on the collective preparedness of our incumbent leaders, emerging leaders and next generation leaders.
Respondents were asked to rate the importance of various leadership competencies and attributes , with the a Supply Chain Leader of the Future in mind. Respondents were subsequently asked to rate the average proficiency level (or behavior modeling) of hospital system supply chain leaders.
Competencies are specific skills, which can be learned and mastered over time. Attributes (or traits) are specific patterns of behavior we develop based on our personal and professional experiences. For clarity, this survey assumed supply chain leaders already have the necessary technical supply chain competencies.
Below are the results from the 2019 Survey and the 2018 Survey.

Personal development plan (PDP)
Ready to start investing in your development and/or helping others with their development?
Studies suggest that effective leaders invest at least 8 hours per month in their own professional development. Are you dedicating at least one full day per month to your development? Maybe you are willing to invest the time, but don't know exactly where to spend the time or which skills would help you the most? Creating a personal development plan (PDP) can help to clarify your areas of focus and align development plans with your leaders for maximum impact. Below is a planning guide to help you facilitate the creation of your PDP.
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever."
-Gandhi

Insight to Action WORKSHEET
What is the 10% change you are willing to make, especially if it has a 90% impact on your life?
Do you often do you find yourself attending conferences and seminars leaving with so many great ideas? How many of these new ideas do you really put to action? It's ok if the number is shockingly low because it happens to so many of us, despite really good intentions.
What if you could dramatically improve your IMPACT? What if you could be MORE and do LESS? Sounds impossible, right?
Download this form and put it to use to capture your top three insights from your next conference, coaching session or education session. It doesn't matter if you believe you have heard 100 powerful insights because we already know that too many insights leads to overload and inaction. Therefore, no more than three powerful insights.
For each insight, document the potential impact you could have if you put this insight to action. Finally, document the small action you will take immediately to put this insight to action. The key is to keep the action small.
I would love to hear your feedback after you put this to work for a bit.
