Everyone in corporate world has to go through constant changes, all the times. It could be change in profile, change in team members and sometimes change in complete set of environment (If you are changing the job)
The change I am talking about is the one which we need to go through all the life, irrespective of companies we work for, boss we report to, or colleagues we are surrounded with.
For example, let me assume that I am working as a team lead at some point of my career. Where I will be much involved in the details and completely hands on. My small module forms my world to me and I will probably want to make all the decisions related to this module.
Let us assume, I got promoted to project manager, where 5-6 team leads report to me. Now, I need to unlearn the way I was dealing with the work, and start thinking about the whole project. I need to understand that I can no more be completely hands-on to the work I am responsible for and I need to get the work done from others.
Cut few more years, I am a business leader now. This is a different ball game now. I need to have vision, and a plan to build a business. I need to have an operational blueprint and means of measuring the success of a project. I need to be an influential leader who can abstract the work from my team members, while connecting with my customers to provide value to them.
If I am a CEO of any company, I need to look my profile in to a completely different way.
I need to move from tactician to strategist: shift fluidly between the details and the larger picture, perceive important patterns in complex environments and anticipate and influence the reactions of key external players.
I need to move from being specialist to generalist: understand the business models, tools and terms used in key business functions and develop templates for evaluating the leaders of those functions.
I need to move from being supporting cast member to lead role: where I exhibit the right behavior as a role model for the organization and learn to communicate with and inspire large groups of people both directly and increasingly indirectly.
Imagine, if I fail to change my mindset as I move up in the organization? Imagine being involved in all the details like project manager when I am a CEO? It will create issues among the team members as they can’t understand the role I am playing and more importantly I need to spend time to strategize the things.
I have seen some examples where compromising this clarity led to complete breaking down of the business operation.

All the businesses revolve around reduction in cost and increase profits. No matter how good you are being a tactician/stratigist. Need to evolve and be innovative is the name of successful games.
