Contemplations, on Leadership, Narrow Margins and the Path Ahead

Contemplations, on Leadership, Narrow Margins and the Path Ahead

With a population exceeding 50 million armchair football coaches the recent weeks have prompted introspection. The journey of our national football squad guided by Gareth Southgate has been a lesson in commitment, strategy and fortitude. While we fell short of victory it's those differences that often determine success in both sports and business.

In my coaching philosophy beyond my day job (Coaching a U13 Football Team) I stress the importance of growth and introspection. Like football where every pass, tackle and decision matters in finance, procurement and supply chain management every decision carries consequences. It's about grasping the intricacies learning from each instance and striving for excellence in all aspects of our endeavours.

Spanning across finance, procurement and supply chain recruitment has shown me that triumph is seldom attained alone. It demands teamwork akin to a synchronised football squad. Each player—or in our case each team member—must comprehend their role strive towards shared objectives and be flexible, amidst evolving situations.

As a thank you- Dear Gareth Southgate, I want to express my gratitude, for your leadership and the way you exemplify grace and determination. Your actions serve as a reminder that the journey itself holds value even if we don't always reach our goals. It is through these experiences that we learn, grow and pave our way to success.

As we look ahead let’s carry these lessons with us. Whether we are working in finance, procurement, supply chain management or pursuing professional aspirations lets bear in mind that every decision, every effort and every moment of reflection propels us closer to our desired outcomes.

I extend my appreciation to everyone who has been part of this journey at Tri Talent. For those who have yet to join us on this path I invite you to come aboard as we embrace the opportunities that await us.

On my list of aspirations is a commitment to excel in delivering service to our clients and welcoming partners from the USA, Canada and Mexico where I aim to be for a whole month- maybe 3rd time lucky in a couple of years ?The future looks bright with possibilities on the horizon.

To those in the know – it seems like the Football Association has my details locked down; well my FAN number (for those familiar, with it).
