As a supply chain manager and an organizational leader what do you find most challenging? Are these challenges something you avoid or something you confront. Recently, we have seen General Motors go bankrupt because of their inability to change their business model and supply chain. Their centralized approach to automobile manufacturing worked a generation ago but not in today's environment. We also see that Boeing cannot deliver on their "Dream liner" commitment because of a poorly conceived supply chain that is difficult to adapt in a changing environment.

Here's a question that I ask my C-coaching clients: what are you most resisting in your life? What would your answer be? If you are resisting change, then you will begin to see more and more change in your life and experience more and more frustration. But when you realize that you are not resistant to change but rather the potential consequences that change presents and begin to take action to move through this resistance, change will become evolutionary rather that resistant. When you shift your mind, what you were once resisting will now serve as a platform for more success.

Often senior supply chain managers are resistant to change particularly when they designed and own the existing model. They become an obstacle rather than embracing the flow of change that leaves to continuous improvement. They often protect the existing model to the detriment of their organization and their career,Are you resisting becoming an elite performer? Are you resisting being more innovative? Are you resisting speaking your truth at work? Are you resisting taking care of your health and working on your physical dimension? Are you resisting opening up your heart in all your relationships? What you resist, will persist. The world is a mirror. When you change, your world changes.

If you or your organization finds itself resistant to change call a Supply Chain Expert. Supply Chain Experts can help your organization find unique solutions to supply chain challenges that helps you improve overall customer satisfaction.
