In this way, you will inspire your team and become a true advocate for transforming procurement to be a strategic capability for your company. 

On page 14 of your Challenge Action Guide, the best practices for accomplishing this are listed as a step by step guide to help you through this process.
 
Here are the basic steps…
Think of your big goal from day 1 of the challenge and break it down into smaller goals.
Anticipate the specific fears and feelings your team will have about change
Instill in your team the same type of change mindset you developed in yourself
Make sure each team member has all of the resources they need in place before changes start happening
Create a rewards system to give your team incentives to overcome challenges.
Let your team know they'll be rewarded for taking risks, but there's nothing wrong with failing.
Make yourself available for any help they might need
Ease off the performance criteria during times when you need your team to grow and change. Performance quotas are the very definition of the "status quo."
The point of this part of the challenge is to understand that overcoming your fears, facilitates others to do the same. 

Once you inspire your team with a procurement entrepreneur mindset, you become a true advocate for their growth to transform the supply chain into the boardroom from the backroom.
