Most get a promotion, or go get a certificate in something, just trying to move up, get a raise, etc. Then they run into the jealousies, resentments, fear, "games," - the human condition in all its splendor. If they don't get on top of their emotions, keep their concentration, and focus on the work, they can be sucked into the vortex, and join the general mess in so many workplaces. It helps to talk about it. Thanks for commenting, Pat. Shaun My goal is to be helpful to “real” people, only a few of whom have consciously chosen a career as a manager.

I wish that all managers learned quickly from feedback. Thanks for the stories. Pat Your examples are realistic…some managers are more comfortable with their roles than others.
