Many are Ph.D. and or MD scientists and engineers who are experts in their area of science and technology. Some are technical experts in IT or Finance or other disciplines where having the most depth of knowledge and often the “right” answer has helped them develop their reputation and credibility. Most of them are challenged by the increasing demand for them to get involved in and handle “people problems.”

Most are expected to lead organizations or teams, develop relationships, and influence stakeholders who are outside of their technical specialty. Frequently, they have an inclination and a comfort level with “getting the task done” – often by themselves, or without engaging their diverse stakeholders in a collaborative way.
