This is a great book with many personal stories that is so inspiring。 It is easy to read and most importantly, the authors kept it so real and share how they overcome the many challenges still seen in the current business。 My 7 years old is reading the book too! Though there are words that he do not understand, he continues to read on as the book kept him curious。

I participated to the book launch in Carturesti Carusel, and I was happy to see the interest of the colleagues of a few book contributors from Mondelez, Microsoft, Henkel and a few other companies。 The book is a compendium of stories from leaders in the supply chain industry。 Written in a conversational style and easy to understand, we hear key insights from people that lead multi-billion businesses to entrepreneurs。 Achim Dunnwald talks about the importance of aligning to the same vision and pu I participated to the book launch in Carturesti Carusel, and I was happy to see the interest of the colleagues of a few book contributors from Mondelez, Microsoft, Henkel and a few other companies。 The book is a compendium of stories from leaders in the supply chain industry。 Written in a conversational style and easy to understand, we hear key insights from people that lead multi-billion businesses to entrepreneurs。 Achim Dunnwald talks about the importance of aligning to the same vision and purpose on core KPIs and always staying curious。 Andreas Krinninger has a funny story about a 3 star Michelin Chef and the importance of synchronicity。 Bonnie Fetch touches on an important topic the cultural challenges when being responsible for other regions。 Chouaib Rokbi has stories about the culture of questioning and disagreement。 A great tool to work with people in companies, as it has a QR code inside and if you scan it, you have access to bonus content including videos and worksheets for your team。 A great resource to spark a conversation with your colleagues about how a team can achieve new heights! 。。。more

A well-thought and inspiring book that brings different perspectives from diverse and extraordinary supply chain leaders globally! Currently enjoying reading about their career journey- the most important moments and insights from their own experiences running the supply chain business and navigating the toughest times。 Most importantly, it shares the perspective and behaviors executives have personally develop to thrive。

A must read for all professionals, but I think especially important for young(er) professionals … whichever field of work they are in。 I say this for a few reasons:- most stories in this book tell us that people come into supply chain from other fields (of interest / work experiences / qualifications) … true in my own case as well- these stories truly show how critical & amazing supply chain is … for both, businesses & professionals (both grow because of this field)- these stories help the reade A must read for all professionals, but I think especially important for young(er) professionals … whichever field of work they are in。 I say this for a few reasons:- most stories in this book tell us that people come into supply chain from other fields (of interest / work experiences / qualifications) … true in my own case as well- these stories truly show how critical & amazing supply chain is … for both, businesses & professionals (both grow because of this field)- these stories help the readers understand the bond of inter-connectedness of various functions of a business … and the role supply chain plays in ensuring this bond is strong (and remains strong)- these stories highlight that supply chain is really about people … about collaborating with others & growing together- these stories talk about men & women as leaders … yes, that’s a +ve in my view- these stories are from around the world, and include many different industries - these stories make supply chain professionals appear S**Y … well, I can definitely spell ‘rockstars’ here ;) … rockstars that are seldom interested in taking the stage, and are happy to operate behind the scenes- finally, the book gives us the CHAIN model that is simple & efficientThe only (slight) irritant I found in the book was the recurring reference to McKinsey … many of the leaders mentioned in the book are ex-McKinsey … but this is understandable, since one of the authors, Knut, is currently with the firm。 。。。more
