hahaha, with limited number of participants polls are not very meaningful. Still supply chain is more on communication, empathy and listening capability for end-2-end stakeholders than hard coded supply chain knowledge that is coming with experience and can be acquired more easily. A problem is that in  many companies Supply Chain knowledge is appreciated more as a professional know how than as a leadership skill. This also makes a difference in performance where leadership dimension will always take advantage to "formal skill", poorly used cross-board.
