Despite the interest and attention being heaped upon digital platforms, leadership teams still have to emphasize the importance of developing their team’s soft skills. Whether that means improved two-way communication abilities or a willingness to trust one’s instinct when it matters most, strengths and abilities have to go far beyond technical areas.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Carmen Carulli. Carmen is the former Country Purchasing Director and current Sales Director at L’Oreal as well as the author of Leadership dell'essere, or Leadership of Being, a book about the soft skills all future leaders will need.

Carmen paused from her jam-packed schedule to share her philosophy on life and leadership:

• What we really mean when we talk about ‘soft skills’
• How expectations for leadership have changed in a highly digital world
• Why she chooses to make time for mentoring, and what her mentees have taught her
