More specialists being promoted without moving into management
Satisfaction from being expert

More shared goals, objectives, and performance expectations
More involvement in the collection and design of information
A change from line item budgeting to program and then to performance based budgeting
More challenging careers
More effort to connect rewards and recognition to Organizational mission and values
Resistance to command and control
Information and our response to it being replaced by supervisory control
