Leadership leading differences with managing

The competencies are needed for different areas of the company. The most important aspect is the company itself, where internal synchronization and interdisciplinary transparency of processes can be reached with the help of business process competencies. Furthermore, there are suppliers, customers as well as the supply chain manager, who are all responsible for managing competencies, as seen in Fig. 8.10. Suppliers require co-operational competencies, as well as customer competencies. The supply chain manager needs to establish social, conflictual, motivational and leadership competencies in order to successfully lead the supply chain. The competencies are closely related to one another, which means that they cannot be developed independently of each other, but only in parallel. The systematic development of process supporting competencies is one of the core elements (Pfohl 2009).
