The hardest skill in procurement? The one we call “soft.”

61 votes later, here’s how you ranked our top superpowers:

🥇 Stakeholder Alignment - 36%

🥈 Supplier Management - 30%

🥉 Negotiation - 20%

🎯 Data Analysis - 15%

No single skill defines procurement. But the signal is clear: The human side edged out the technical.

Because the sharpest negotiation collapses without alignment. The best supplier strategy fails without trust. And even perfect data is powerless without buy-in.

Takeaway: Impact isn’t about one superpower. It’s about when you use each, and how you bring people with you. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antoine-sauvageot_procurement-procurementtalks-procurementcommunity-activity-7361766062603821056-y93v?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAABWlLHYB_IGmQVcX5DT-C3CHv8SM0VsyB8Q
