Obey Now, Grieve Later? | Procurement Leadership with Martin Stein
“How dare you say that to me?” That was Martin Stein’s reaction the first time he heard the phrase “Obey now, grieve later.” At the time, it felt completely wrong. Years later, he sees the lesson differently: give your advice, explain the risks, make your recommendation clear. But once the decision is made, the question becomes: How do we make this work? In this episode of the Supply Chain Ambassador Podcast, Martin shares that and more on his approach to leadership, trust, and procurement.
