The specialized skills of the most successful leaders adapt and
evolve in tune with the needs of their business
environment.
Remember when Tim Cook was chosen as the CEO for Apple? There
were many questions about why you would prefer a supply chain
expert for the head of Apple? Well, continuously since then,
he has shown why and at this point in history, the impact of
his genius in supply chain strategy is unrivaled Before that,
possessing sales skills were critical to the success of the
enterprise and its leader, and before that, superior
operational skills were essential. It does not take a rocket
scientist to connect the dots – successful leadership
must respond to the requirement of evolving specialization, which
is driven for the most part by the most significant underlying
challenges of the times.
