We seem to be so overwhelmed by technical competence that we sometimes overlook whether this person has the capability of discharging this competence in the organization the way it should be done when one is a leader. Very often someone takes up a leadership position and continues to function as if he/she is in the field - showing the organization how good he/she is at what they know rather than moving to the next level of shaping and realizing a vision for the organization. I think it has something to do with our reward systems. Hyacinth Denise
