I remember talking with an acquaintance a few years back who had recently graduated from college about how she envisioned her career progressing. Here’s how she broke down the steps:
1. Get a job.
2. Master that job.
3. Manage other people doing that job.
4. "Run sh*t" (her exact words).
I find that this is often how management is perceived by individual contributors (myself included before I became a manager). "Running sh*t" sounds pretty awesome, right?
