Supply Chain Leadership Makes a Difference Climbing through the ranks from private to sergeant to the second highest ranked supply chain and logistician professional in the U.S. Army - Lieutenant General, and now CEO of Wyche Consulting, Larry shares the highs and lows of being a supply chain professional and leader with over 35 years of experience. Over the years his learned that “Leadership Makes a Difference.” Despite the many challenges you may face as a supply chain professional- there is no excuse for not delivering to your customer. Whether you are a first line, mid-level manager, director or CEO, and as in his case, the senior supply chain and logistician professional in Afghanistan or leading a $58 billion day-to-day supply chain enterprise, he shares with you examples and stories of the significance of taking care of and being there for your employees as a supply chain leader. Balance and your life matters and that a key to success is understanding your potential as Larry initially struggled with this, but learned that with good health that the sky is the limit and that being a supply chain leader and professional were truly a joy a blessing and that good leadership makes a difference. Topics to be discussed include: • What does Supply Chain need to do to get a seat on the boardroom table? • What’s your excuse for not delivering? • Do you know your potential? • From follower to leader: making the jump • As team structures become more complex, how can you reinforce your position as a leader? • How to communicate the value of leadership to your executive team I attended my first SGA Supply Chain Roundtable February 2012. I left with a wealth of knowledge and numerous contacts that I have called on over the years. After my initial conference, I could not wait to get back to the office and begin to implement some of the things I learned. The topics we covered and the conversations with new Supply Chain friends from my industry made this perhaps the best, most amazing, unforgettable, and exciting training I have ever experienced. Join us and invite a co-worker. They will thank you! (SGA ROCKS!) Not knowing what to expect, I signed up for the Southern Gas Association conference last July. The people I met were discussing supply chain for the energy industry – EXACTLY what I needed to help me improve support for my customers. The personal work experiences they shared with me, and the presentations throughout the conference, were inspirational. Not only did I learn so much at this conference I made business friendships that will last forever. With this type of networking, I am able to consult one of my business friends with issues or questions I have and receive some great feedback. Come join us, and meet me, Devon.
