34 If you are going to Vault the Wall, you have a choice on whether to adapt within or shape your function A.T. Kearney xx/00000/unique Identifier 34

35 Good individual leadership in companies do three things especially well ALIGN the organisation The ability to align, inspire, and enable teams, to create coalitions for change, to embody the organisation s values ANTICIPATE the market dynamic The ability to lead from the front, anticipating customer and other stakeholder needs The Triple A of Leadership Move to ACTION The ability to take the difficult decision and focus on what matters A.T. Kearney xx/00000/unique Identifier 35

36 and balance two complementary, yet distinct roles Operational Leadership Keeps the show on the road Captures peoples committed energy Motivates others by appealing to their own selfinterest Works within existing boundaries Change Leadership Inspires a change of course Captures peoples discretionary energy Motivates others by appealing to a higher value Works to change existing boundaries A.T.

42 Fellows (aka leaders) should share more of their own informative learnings Select quotations biggest mistakes & what we wished we knew earlier The importance of networking More advanced techniques to engage more successfully with internal nonprocurement oriented colleagues who needed persuading towards smarter procurement or commercial success Don t try to do it all yourself Network, network, network The importance of networking at all levels Networking Self-confidence That confidence is half the battle Be bolder. Speak up more. Be authentic and true to your own values and beliefs. To have had the confidence to push ideas forward That I could of pushed the boundaries a bit more and been more confident. Success is not about procurement and supply chain theory - its about understanding people and what makes them tick. Whilst technical and professional knowledge is very important, effective leadership is equally about relationship management across the whole spectrum of internal and external activities Valuing the differences and variety in people Relationship Management Ability to Influence How to exercise power without antagonizing or alienating others Success doesn't have to be at the detriment of others and competition doesn't have to be underhanded I wish I had used my leadership abilities more fully instead of staying within the boundaries that I set myself. How to handle the politics and influence upwards. Source: Fellows of the Future - Attending Fellows, Fellows Not signed up yet? and Fellows of the Future A.T. Kearney xx/00000/unique Identifier 42
