Once upon a time, a clever sales rep sent out a nicely crafted email to dozens of prospects.

My friend, Tibor Shanto , and I were talking this morning. He asked me a fascinating question, “Why don’t managers have a development plan or roadmap for developing the capabilities and performance of their people?” The question caused me to pause and reflect. Very few managers sit down with their people and develop a plan to help them learn, grow, and contribute at higher levels.

Strange thing was, the VC didn’t talk to the rest of the board. Who didn’t agree. So he got un-fired. Awkward. CEOs getting replaced and fired in start-ups doesn’t happen every day.
