It is easy for companies to get "stuck" with their current organizational structure and lose sight of whether growth of the business translates to growth IN THE SAME WAY by the leaders holding key positions. Business leaders owe it to themselves (and the success of their business) to constantly re-evaluate the competencies of their employees and make sure they are optimized. At times, this may require a simple training/coaching initiative to bring the employee's capabilities to the level that is needed. But another approach, as Ms. Whitman illustrated with her "management shakeup", is moving folks to different assignments so certain skill sets can be better utilized.
