CEOs at the end of the day are worried about organizational performance. In these times, agility is also in focus. Pivot or Perish is much used and abused in the current context. Many CEOs believe that the middle layers of managers are not really required. Others differ.
- How do you really build a agile organization? Are a significant number of managers required to be able to remain competitive? Or is it a hindrance?
- What kind of investment is required in manager capability building to really make them valuable to the organization?
- Is is easy to establish a linkage between manager capability and organization performance?
- Can most current managers adapt to the new demands of workplaces of the future? What needs to be done by leaders to enable that?
