The Triad Report

As this is being written, we don’t know who the next President of the United States will be. Regardless of affiliation, we all recognize that our country’s new leader will be facing many challenges in his first term. Most of us probably feel helpless to affect change at the national level, but we all have the opportunity to step up to the challenges in our own workplace. Our November speaker, Nancy McGuire, will motivate us to become leaders in procurement.

Her presentation, “From perspiration to inspiration: How to move from working hard to ensuring your hard work matters,” will help us understand the differences between managing and leading. McGuire will discuss leadership concepts and how we can apply them as procurement professionals. By using job-specific examples, she will explain various leadership styles and when each is most effective in procurement.

Nancy is President and Founder of McGuire Consulting Group, located in Chapel Hill, NC. The group works with companies to improve business results by maximizing performance of high-potential leaders. Nancy has worked for and held leadership positions in corporate America, working for IBM and General Motors. At IBM, Nancy has led professionals and managers in Indirect and Direct Procurement, Materials Planning, Engineering, and Operations.
