    The CI Manager Crisis: Why CI Leaders Struggle and Why You Shouldn't Hire a CI Manager

    Read the source article here:  https://www.beltcourse.com/blog/the-ci-manager-crisis-why-ci-leaders-struggle-and-why-hiring-a-ci-manager-from-outside-isn-t-the-solution   Continuous Improvement (CI) Managers frequently struggle due to issues like team resistance, role ambiguity, and a lack of impact. The author contends that hiring externally is a detrimental solution because it leads to slow ramp-up times, higher costs, and internal team demoralization. Instead, the article advocates for developing internal talent to fill CI Manager roles, emphasizing that individuals already familiar with the organization's culture and processes are better positioned for success. This internal development approach fosters quicker integration and boosts overall team morale and retention, ultimately leading to more effective and sustainable CI initiatives.
