Women Leaders in Supply Chain Allison P. Corry, Chief Supply Chain Officer and Vice President, Supply Chain Organization, Intermountain Healthcare, Salt Lake City, Utah Editor’s note: The following interview originally ran in the December 2021 issue of The Journal of Healthcare Contracting, a sister publication of Repertoire Magazine.
The Journal of Healthcare Contracting: What are the characteristics of a successful supply chain leader in today’s marketplace? Allison Corry: I think there are three major characteristics of a successful supply chain leader today. Be Bold. A great coach and mentor of mine talks a lot about the ability to be bold. This results in bold leadership, ideas, fearlessness, and energy. With all the challenges facing industry, we have to be bold. Have Resiliency. If we have learned anything from the pandemic, it is that of greater importance to preparedness and flexibility is resiliency. While we all do our best to be proactive and adjust on the fly, there will be challenges that require correction. Our personal and team’s ability to be undiscouraged and quickly resilient is a key attribute of success. Live your Mission/Vision/Values. Try and remember the “so what” of what motivates you, your teams, your organizations when you’re in a rut. By getting to the most foundational mission of what your work contributes to or enables, you can find the spark needed for reinvigoration.
