Ø      Have you now been put “In Charge?” Ø      Now that you have gotten what you wished for…are you uncertain as to what is expected of you? Ø      Are you now the one who needs to get the work out day-in and day-out? Ø      Are you still the best professional in the group, still doing real work, but now stretched too thin to work with the others in your group? Ø      Have you been in charge for some time and still do not feel comfortable? Ø      Have you been in charge for some time and are now worried that you may not be successful in that role? Ø      Have you been frustrated by the failure of your subordinates or colleagues to achieve the level of results you are expected to accomplish? Ø      Are you frustrated with trying to get the people who were once your peers to take direction from you? Ø      Has your boss told you that your team is not getting the job done?   In short: Are you confused and seeking help?   Every leader, manager or executive has been there. You are not alone!
