163. How to Avoid Building a Culture of Putting Out Fires

If you find yourself constantly putting out fires, this episode is for you. I talk with Katie Armistead about how to build strong relationships and processes across your supply chain so you don’t have to solve every issue that comes up.

We discuss building SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and how to improve those with your partners.
