How do technical managers learn to add value in general management roles? What does it feel like for people with a lot of expertise to go from managing a process to managing a business?
People like this can add massive value to the organisation if and when their specialist knowledge and wisdom can be brought to bear alongside wider leadership skills.
What is the benefit of letting new and aspiring leaders among your technical functions guess what they need to do? Accelerate the learning curve and you get bottom line benefits.
Through my general coaching practice I use an experiential learning framework to encourage exploration and the development of new skills.
Through 4mph I help senior people explore strategic direction.
