What could your organisation achieve if its technical specialists were given the same intensity of skills development as people managers?
* Organisations spend so much money hiring techincal experts and individual contributors - then they ignore them once they're hired.
* As a result, senior individual contributors lack the business skills they need to drive innovation and change at a senior level. They have great ideas but can't quite get the company to get behind their innovation
As a result:
* The money invested in technical teams doesn't quite pay off.
* Technical experts end up overworked, resentful and demotivated - and quit.
* The business loses any number of opportunities to create value.
What steps can businesses and CEOs take to help experts achieve their full potential? What effort is required, and what benefits should they expect? How bad a problem is this?
