I'm back in the saddle again...the manager saddle, that is. And this is after I said I wasn't going back in it! Hubs says he thinks that I like being a manager. I guess I do. So after A LOT of thought and praying, when this position came open, I decided to apply and who knew...I got it! I was so nervous and anxious. And for a sec I was second guessing myself, am I made the right decision, do I want to do this, will the people I work with support me. I was even thinking, do they even like me! Well I guess they do because it has been 2 weeks so far in this new role, and I have to say I feel this is the best decision. I work with some amazing people and feel so supported. That is half the battle, being supported.
With this role, I have an office. So now I need to decorate it so at least it is welcoming for when people come in to talk with me. And I am not a very good decorator. So this may take some time! I really should do something behind me where I sit. Most of my meetings are on zoom and I need something behind me other than a plan wall! And another thing...I have to get some new clothes! yay for me...shopping trip! When I left my last manager role, I also had lost a lot of weight. So instead of getting new dress clothes, I got scrubs. Well, I think I need some new dress clothes again! Like I even needed a reason for shopping. LOL.
As I am going back into this leadership role, I got to thinking...You don't have to have the title to be a leader. We all are leaders, whether in our jobs, at home, we all lead. Like with your kids. No matter how old they are, you are leading them. My son just got married, is moving into a new home this week. He looks to us for guidance (leadership) to help him answer questions on a road he has not taken yet in life.
No matter what your job is, I am sure you look to your co-workers for assistance and they look to you as well. That is being a leader. Just go out there and do your best, give it your all and take pride in your work and what you do.
Luke 12:48; "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more."
Philippians 2:3–4; "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Love to all,
