When I was first promoted to the role of President and CEO,
I became very familiar with the phrase “It’s lonely at the top.” Anyone who has
made the move from the role of a worker on the team, to be the one in charge of
the team, knows it can be a challenging transition. Whether it’s true or not,
you have the feeling that the entire department, or company, is now waiting for
your direction, and watching your every move. Your superiors are watching too.
Was this the right decision, putting this person in charge?
