Managing an integrated supply chain, both external and internal, is recognized by most experts as the key to an organization's success in the 2000's so it comes as no surprise that companies are looking for (and rewarding) employees who can provide leadership in making those critical supply chains function efficiently. Effective employees understand that no organization in the supply chain can succeed unless ALL succeed. They also understand that corporate and personal success comes from crafting working relationships and agreements with those in their supply chain who they rely on as well as those who rely on them.

Interestingly enough, all the lessons we learn from observing employees who are successful in managing their supply chain are mirrored in observing Dorothy's experience in Oz. This lively, interactive workshop will provide participants an opportunity to explore their role in their "personal" supply chain and gain confidence in his/her role as a leader who can make positive changes happen. Using class exercises, personal assessment and group discussions we will build on the skills, attitudes and actions of leadership found along the "yellow brick road" and apply those lessons to make our own careers successful.
