Like a child… you need to walk before you run. I have done my share of stumbling in the past six weeks and learned that falling is part of the program.
I’ve learned that having a micro manager for a boss is not easy to get used to when you have never had one. I know what it’s like to be quickly accepted into the ‘boys club’ that makes up a portion of the staff. I have found that for most things I am on my own with just enough rope to choke but not hang myself. I understand that being an expert in one industry makes me nothing in another. I have found that what should be a 10 minute task can take days. I have been able to destroy and repair client relationships in less than a week. I know who I can trust and who I cannot. I know dark secrets about co-workers and clients. I have found a product launch to be my savior. I now know how little I knew 35 days ago.
