Abstract: Abstract This chapter guides you through people working within supply chain management, and it focuses on the learning and development element of people management. There are three parts of this chapter. First, we will look at learning and development from an organisational point of view and how to construct a learning and development strategy. Second, we will explore the value of leadership in a supply chain company and explain how effective leadership styles can be employed. Third, we consider how to improve learning by incorporating different learning styles in learning and development programmes with the ultimate goal to improve business performance. The chapter concludes with a case study of best practice on learning and development in the Unilever Supply Chain Academy. Having read this chapter you will be able to: Clarify the tools to enable learning in a supply chain business Identify the value of leadership development in the supply chain world Explore how supply chain managers can better support individuals to learn and apply supply chain management concepts
