Evolution of industry is imminent and with that we evolve.
Onshore and offshore project leads/co-ordinators/managers was the flavor of 90s (more so from services standpoint)
Managers and Pseudo-Technical leads were the flavor of 2000s and early this decade...
To discover the trend for next few years, need not go far - Welcome coaching and coaches.
Its ironic how "All of a sudden" there are tons of coaches, maybe very soon the # of coaches may outnumber the resources to be coached.
The point is not about abundant coaches, but coaches for causes and not coaches driven by passion.
There is no wrong in coaching seen as a pure career option , but to truly succeed as a coach, a state of mind beyond professional role is important.
An interesting story to share - In an interview asked a candidate "why are there so many coaches in the industry" and I loved the answer - "Thats the logical transition from being a resource manager of a technical team" Wow...!!! Appreciate the openness of the candidate.
Ever since, I started wondering - "Is coach the tag, many will hide behind now".....!!!
