Today I had to inform a couple of team members that they were being transferred to other departments (I hate delivering bad news…I am no Lynn Russell). Change she is a coming. I myself am on the cusp of some fairly radical career changes. My whole division is going through a massive reorganization. For the moment, I am on “the winning” side, but that kind of thing can change overnight. My fear is that I am being promoted to the point of my own incompetence. Right now I manage a team of 10. If all goes through as planned, I will have a team of roughly 30. Eeek, that is a lot of people. I must be nuts for accepting the additional responsibility. It is not a promotion. I don’t get any more pay or benefits. But I do increase the likelihood of an early heart attack. So I have that going for me.
