Those that are well positioned will be there waiting for those jobs and will continue to outperform their peers (and competition). Sharlyn - Love the one-liner "Take the best, leave the rest and create your own game". So true! Thank you both for stopping in and commenting.

I can't agree with you more about the importance of cross functional training. From a personal development perspective - the cross functional training I had early on in my career helped me really develop the ability to think multi-disciplined and is the skill set I see others lack the most. It's unfortunate so many people choose to focus so heavily on their own discipline that they miss out on really gathering a strong perspective from other business units that can have a direct impact on their current (and future) role. On the flip side, . If you disagree - please, feel free to stick with your tunnel-vision department only focused training and experience. It will make it way easier for someone like me to win that job you really wanted. Great topic, Jason! I can’t agree with you more about the importance of cross functional training.
