The striker
I find that members of an executive team are not always playing in the right position. Never mind the core competencies of an accountant, a marketer, the ops director or the ICT specialist. Never mind the fact that the CEO may have got there by default, we are all having to develop the other stuff, the elements that we contribute to the intellectual capital of the business.Sometimes things evolve naturally for the organisation, but the reality is that most people feel most comfortable with where they have come from. This discussion is more interested in where they are going to.
Its not just the speed of change in the market place that is the catalyst for people developing a wider skill and knowledge set, it can be the impact of transformational continuing professional development.
Circumstances facing business are never the same. We need to change structures, salaries, routes to market, strategies, plans and people just as fast as our business model requires. Someone may start out playing in defensive midfield but they could end up as the striker.
