Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Host: Jarvis T. Gray, The Quality Coaching Co. Guest: Kevin Gordon, VP of Supply Chain, Grady Health System Episode Highlights Leadership Mindset: Kevin shares his guiding principles: “To whom much is given, much is required,” and never asking his team to do what he wouldn’t do himself. Career Journey & Supply Chain Kevin describes transitioning from roles in food & beverage and retail to healthcare supply chain at Grady. He discusses the wide-ranging scope of supply chain, including equipment, procurement, contracts, and social impact. Pivot to Healthcare: The move into healthcare was inspired by the desire for a steadier schedule, leading to a fellowship that revealed the 24/7 nature of healthcare - but ultimately proved to be a worthwhile decision. Defining Excellence: Building a results-driven, best-in-class supply chain team has been central to Grady’s recent recognition. Kevin credits success to assembling a strong team and focusing on best practices, rather than external accolades.
