This is a important article recognizing the current challenges facing each business leader across the globe and their need to find the best candidates to meet the need in their organizations. Douglas Flint, the group chairman of HSBC Holdings, explained “I don’t think we’ve ever been in a period, in our lifetime, where things have been more uncertain.”
Uncertain times demand restructured thinking. Past procedures brought people to companies with a narrow focus, today’s needs for the new professional to offer a “multidisciplinary” approach with broader talents.
Progressing through the article, Charles Tilley, initiates the dialogue for the CEOs need to be transparent giving a truer picture how the organization runs and potential opportunities. It is suggested that a fine line lies within producing growth and handing information to competitors. The key, James Singh executive vice president and CFO for Nestle, is “moving beyond the numbers… We must understand where business is creating value and where it is destroying value.”
The common thread continually reoccurring was the need to value the skilled professional , they would be pivotal point in an organization’s success.

Thank you for sharing this article Andrew. I am curious how the organizations are going to determine a job candidate's broader talents? I think I would get bored with a job that was had a narrow focus. An opportunity to perform with a multidisciplinary approach sounds like an interesting position to me.
