A breed of leaders earlier associated with the middle-level are increasingly hobnobbing at the top. These are often functional leaders, who focus on solving specific problems. They tend to be technical experts at certain aspects, notably with technology. Most of them would not claim mastery of talent management as they lack the charisma associated with such leaders, yet by the sheer dint of their problem-solving abilities, people tend to flock towards them. This problem-led approach leads to major impacts on society. These leaders do not aspire to be generalists, but experts in their own domain of choice. They forge connections through the services they provide.
