General Management is Dead: How Expert Leaders Can Advance Their Career

Dr. Wanda T. Wallace, the managing partner of Leadership Forum, and the author of You Can’t Know It All: Leading in the Age of Deep Expertise joins Enterprise Radio.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is on association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Wanda T. Wallace discuss the following:

  1. Why did you write the book? What are you seeing in the business world?
  2. You talk about e-leaders (experts) and s-leaders (spanners). Please explain the differences between the two in terms of skills, capabilities and style?
  3. How do you see career models and models of leadership evolving? How realistic are corporate leadership models in terms of balance expertise and spanning? What needs to change?
  4. If I am currently an e-leader and I want to build the skills of being an s-leader, what should I focus on? How can I practice these skills without moving into an s-role?
  5. How do your observations apply to the careers of women – especially about taking risks?
  6. You have said that the transition from e- to s-leader is particularly difficult for women. Why is this so? What can companies do about it?
  7. So many people will say “He or she got promoted beyond his/her level of competence.” Why do you think this occurs and more importantly what can we do to fix the problem?
