At the level of Support Strategy Manager, we move beyond the considerations of the operational workgroup head into the more complex area of the management of managers.

Management of managers is a highly portable skill for the career-conscious. For the successful candidate in the smaller organisation, the skill is scalable to the larger organisation. Once there, the skill is still needed at the level of the corporate director.
