The art of thinking for oneself needs to be revived. Vikram Mansharami, who is a trend analyst feels that complex decisions must never be made in a vacuum, but post due consideration with business consulting experts. However, the ultra- reliance needs to go. He also feels that today’s management profession is staffed with several super- specialists. These professionals may be really good at their tasks, but come unstuck when some new challenges come up. That is why Mansharami advocates for the presence of more generalists. He also feels that the latter breed of pros understand corporate strategy better, as they can view the broader aspects of business, beyond their own little expert niches.
