Challenge your staff to acquire and employ new skills, both technical and non-technical. Seek input from your people and push them to interact with colleagues outside IT as peers. Perhaps most important, develop a culture that rewards excellence. Spend time evaluating your people and providing feedback and letting them know where they stand. Offering opportunity and focusing on an ability to learn is hard work but presents an IT career as a place where high performers can grow and excel. This process is going to take time and effort but will deliver an amazingly capable staff that will excel. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
