ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
In this episode, Carlos Gutierrez Ferrete joins Rodney Apple and Chris Gaffney to discuss the experiences and leadership lessons that shaped his supply chain career. Carlos explains why career growth should be measured by capabilities rather than titles, why discomfort is essential to professional development, and how emerging leaders can take greater ownership of their careers. The conversation also explores the transition from manager to leader, building leadership bench strength, addressing underperformance, leading large organizations, and helping teams navigate transformation and technology. Carlos also shares insights from his book, Maintain or Transform, which brings together 25 years of lessons on leading through change, building strong teams, and navigating complexity. Throughout the episode, he returns to a central idea: meaningful growth comes from taking ownership, learning by doing, and moving toward difficult challenges rather than away from them.
