Why does the Supply Chain Need Strategic Leadership? There is an emerging need for leadership in supply chain management. Most of the C-suites now have at least some background in supply chain management. A leader can reduce inefficiency in a business by building good relationships with contractors and partners, quickly cut costs, and differentiate their business from its competitors. As markets are evolving fast at a lightning speed, it is essential that leaders are regularly updated and resilient in the face of uncertainty in the near future. An effective  leader needs to be able to hire the right people for its team so that they can enjoy work-life balance and provide support to them when needed. When employees feel that they are valued, they will be motivated to work towards a common goal that a business tries to achieve. A supply chain leader needs to be able to adapt to innovation and easily adopt emerging supply chain technology.  Strong leadership is therefore essential to create an effective supply chain. If your business wants to stay ahead of its competitors, then choose the right leader for these roles.
