If I’m a Manager, Who Am I then?

DSC065011

The longer I’d worked, the more I start to think, where is my future? Continue current position, another 5~10 years, I might be promoted to manager position in (As if the company still exist), but who am I then?

If I’m a manager, will I pushed all the responsible to my subordinate fully, even they’re overloaded with their works. Will I started to refuse to change, to think, to work because I’m manager? Started to accept criticism from others, started to consider that those disobeyed me were my enemies?

If I’m manager, will I be an unreasonable man and refuse to listen to any advice from anyone. Will I fight for my own opinion even I knew it is a fault/mistake, and lastly I force everyone to proceed it and then when problem appeared, all blame will push to my subordinate.

If I’m manager, will I lost all the trust from my subordinate? They will not treat me as their colleague nor friend, they greet me as their manager, that’s all. They don’t even wish to see me after working hour.

When think of all these… Will you still wish to be manager in the future? And what kind of Manager you will be?

    I am a manager but I still enjoy my work life together with the others. MANAGER is just a title, nothing different. Do not take the status too high. Treat everyone the same. I hardly refer my assistant nor my staff as staff, I simply call them my colleagues.

    If you are a manager now, you still can be promoted to Senior Manager, GM, Director or even start your own business as you’ve already enough fame and network
