I think, in a lot of ways, speaking vision and demonstrating that you understand the goals of the organization will align your capabilities potentially much better than just having a numbers conversation." Jose: "If you wake up and you're not excited about what you're doing, then you're definitely in the wrong job. So you definitely have to be passionate about it." Jose: "Be energetic, be passionate about what you're doing, and people will feed off of that and will understand that and they'll get a better sense of what you're trying to accomplish." Jose: "You have to understand that being in procurement, you're going to have to wear two hats. Yes, you are buying and it's all about strategic sourcing and negotiations but, at the end of the day, you also have to get the buy-in from your stakeholders. Be upfront, be transparent, be walking the hallways, and get in front of your stakeholders."
