When I was at one of my lowest points in my professional career I felt like a failure. In my first management role I wasn’t trained for what I needed to do. The previous manager had quit unexpectedly and I was put in the position almost by default. I believe in you! I felt I was letting down my family and others.

A major frustration for some in authority: Good managers have been forced to be leaders. They were expecting to be managers. If you were hoping to manage what has already been built it will be very difficult to thrive in today’s organizational cultures. The job they held had clearly defined rules and boundaries.

At 20 years of age, I was thrust into a management position, because the manger left suddenly. By default, I was given responsibility I had bluffed upper management into believing I was prepared to do. Many times in my career, the heat in the kitchen has been more than I felt I could bear. I wasn’t.

Are you a leader or a manager? Every organization needs both, so don’t be ashamed to answer either way, but it’s important that you know the difference, which one you do best, and then try to arrange your career where you can realize your best potential.
