In today's evolving workplace, career growth is often equated with becoming a manager, but is that the only path to success? This panel delves into the key differences between individual contributor and manager roles, offering insights into what career growth looks like for both. We will explore how professionals can transition between these two pathways, how individual contributors can lead without formal titles, and the distinct skill sets required for each role. Additionally, the panel will address how companies can support employees in growing along either path and discuss the future of work and how it may reshape these roles.
