How do you get technical people to lead and manage?

How do you fill management roles that arise within your business? What do your technical people think of the management roles within your business, and the people who do them? What abilities should you look for in technical people to persuade you that they could move into management? Does your business offer viable career paths for both technical and people focussed staff? We're at Ashfords offices in central Bristol for this one, meeting from 17:30 ready for an 18:00 start. We look forward to seeing you there. Andrew, Rory and Peter
