Ken Bradley - Leader in Highlight - Part 2

In Part 2 of the latest WE Podcast, hear from Ken Bradley, President of the Americas Region at Allied Electronics & Automation, as he continues the conversation with Jackie Mattox, Founder and CEO of Women in Electronics. Ken first reflects on his time at Allied and how the industry has changed and grown throughout the years, shifting focus from selling parts to selling solutions and adding value to customer engagements. He shares what he’s learned from two of his recent professional mentors, highlighting the key values they engrained in him as role models and how that created a confidence he did not initially have. Ken also recounts where he first heard the advice he’s never forgotten and how that shaped his guiding leadership principles on the importance of empowering people. Speaking to empowering people, Ken and Jackie further discuss healthy disruption and the intentionality and endurance required when building a diverse and balanced team. Ken leaves us with words of wisdom for young professionals in the industry or anyone looking to advance in their career – “Don’t rely on a company or a person to write your development, write it yourself.” Support the show
