Nowhere Fast

Show managers the whole system, then they might realise where the real issue lies. Then they can start thinking about a solution.

While most organisations need people, many will narrow it down to hiring only the 'right people'. But are the right people those who you can grow?

People from all walks of life enter the tech industry, even those without a BSc. Make way in your growth programme for people with a passion and polish them.

Developing the skills of your people shouldn't happen by chance. What if everyone who joined your organisation was given a plan to grow and teach?

Becoming irreplaceable could be a risk to the business – and to your job! A team member can know so much that the simply business can't do without.

How do you know if your teams are aligned and what's working if you don't have goals? Be systematic about the system's goals to avoid a make or break.
