With elections looming, I have to comment on the candidate characteristics that I hope the electorate will assess before casting ballots. And I can't resist drawing the analogy to those char' acteristics that differentiate supply chain winners from also-rans. At a high level, there are several of these characteristics: 1. Visionary leadership and steadfastness 2. Awareness that success depends on analysis of alternatives and the blending of people, processes, technology, and systems 3. A proactive stance in collaborating with trading partners 4. Ability to articulate and foster ownership of a mission that builds commitment to excellence.
