The goal of this workshop is to develop the abilities of SCMP candidates to become supply chain leaders and supply chain management professionals, i.e., to lead groups of people and to manage change.

This workshop focuses on the issues in leadership and professionalism, such as developing best practice leadership characteristics, becoming self-aware, creating a vision and a mission statement, and performing the steps toward effective leadership.

The Leadership and Professionalism workshop draws from the works of a variety of credible and well-respected "thought leaders" in the areas of leadership, management and human relations.

Upon completion of this workshop candidates should be able to:

• Apply the five best practices of leadership
• Identify the ways to adapt your behaviour to individuals to build effective relationships
• Critique your organization's vision and mission statements
• Select appropriate applications for each of the four leadership styles
• Differentiate between the continuity and discontinuity perspectives
• Develop ways to build a cohesive team
• Describe critical steps and roles in the change management process
• Determine the appropriate approach to handling conflict
• Create and present a leader profile
