I buy things one order at a time, whatever's needed, whoever's asking. But my boss keeps talking about managing whole categories, seeing all the spend together and steering it, and I can't get my head into that view yet. I'm down in the individual purchases while everyone else seems to see some bigger map.
More people experience this than they realize.
You buy one order at a time and can't yet think in whole categories.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
