Observations about being a Manager

• Perceptions about you Change
• 1) You immediately lose all technical abilities
• 2) The boss syndrome kicks in
• 3) You dont add value as you get pressed from
  all sides (Customer, staff, peers, upper mgmt).
• To Summarize
• You are viewed as you viewed your manager.
