When we think about what excellence looks like, especially on a podcast about heroism, it would be reasonable to assume that it involves feats of superhuman strength, altruistic triumph, and being 100% on point 110% of the time.
Not so, says this episode’s guest. Excellence is doing just that much better than the competition - and your own past performance - consistently over the long term.
In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Keith Wright. Keith is an independent procurement consultant and the author of The Power of Professional Procurement, a book for businesses and decision makers determined to make a material difference for their supply chain.
Highlights
In this interview, Keith talks about his idea of excellence and why it is actually much more attainable than many of us think:
- The importance of investing in ourselves as professionals and creators and what that looks like in practice
- Why having an active network is an essential part of individual success
- Ways customer expectations of all kinds continue to evolve, and how procurement can continue to meet them
