Before you start listing down the business processes, technologies and partnerships you have in mind, Linda Topping, vice president and chief procurement officer with consumer packaged goods manufacturer Colgate-Palmolive Co. said that: “Supply chain talent is the price of admission for the next decade.” Though, business process and contracts help for the development and establishment of the company, a well-rounded, trained and futuristic leader should be molded as early as now to ensure that the company will keep moving forward in the future. Toppings also emphasized that today’s leaders need to change their company culture so that it will entice the next generation of leaders, and convince them to stay.
