Executive Story: Catalyst Leadership: Empowering Leadership Teams to Lead Transformation at Schneider Electric
Thierry Tricot,
SVP, Global Supply Chain, Europe, Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric’s Global Supply Chain (GSC) responded to global disruption -from the COVID 19 pandemic to geopolitical changes -with a bold, people focused transformation. The Catalyst Leadership program empowers leadership teams across 160 factories, 75 distribution centers, and 80,000 employees worldwide to drive change operationally and culturally. Built for deglobalization and local for local strategies, Catalyst is adaptive and non-linear, redefining leadership as a collective capability with a shared mindset and language. Through self-awareness, coaching, open communication, and independent culture surveys, it shifts attention from “what” teams do to “how” they work together. This cultural shift activates leaders, strengthens alignment, increases agility, and creates a more inclusive, future ready supply chain-reinforcing a culture of empowerment and accountability that makes Catalyst a true movement.
