Relationships: The Priceless Asset Money Can’t Buy with CPO & Director of Facilities at NATS, Tim Bullock #66
“We had to stay absolutely core to our principles around collaboration, relationships and partnerships. In the supply chain arena, the strength of those came to the forefront.”
It’s hard to deny that one of the most affected industries from the pandemic has been air travel, so how has the industry’s supply chain stayed strong in preparation for its return?
The value of strong, long-lasting relationships is paramount to NATS’ CPO, Tim Bullock, who joins us on Talent Talks to discuss how the lengthy groundwork in building bonds will pay dividends, whether soft skills trump technical knowhow, and updating practices to better integrate with the business’ objectives.
This episode of Talent Talks covers:
- The quest for talent, and where EQ and soft skills might trump technical skills
- Balancing service function obligations with being the conscience of a business
- Dividends paid by building relationships that NATS could rely on throughout the pandemic
