Listen "Supply Chain Career Catalyst Series: Importance of Career Reflection & Self Assessments"
Episode Synopsis
This inaugural episode of our new podcast Series, Supply Chain Career Catalyst, hosts Rodney Apple, Mike Ogle, and Chris Gaffney take a deep dive into the importance of intentional reflection in career planning. They share how supply chain professionals can avoid making emotionally driven job changes by using structured self-assessment tools, seeking honest feedback, and exploring roles through informational interviews. The conversation emphasizes that careers are rarely linear and that lateral moves or cross-functional experiences often provide greater long-term growth. They also encourage building a personal board of advisors and maintaining a living development plan to stay proactive in career decisions.Need help hiring top talent?
