Absolutely feel this way!

Hi, yes me!

Follow up question: how are you doing now that you fell into it? Do you enjoy being the boss?

I wouldn’t say it was an accident, but leadership is definitely something I always gravitated to and have rarely felt like I had to proactively pursue. Being actually good at it is another story, that’s taken some time and learning, lol.

I'd always been known for my creativity and my ability to rally the troops around a shared vision but leadership? That wasn't on my agenda. I was content being the behind the scenes mastermind, the one weaving magic with words and ideas. But fate had other plans.

YEP. I never thought I wanted to be in management and had no intentions on moving up. It just sort of happened. I hear I am really good at it though so I guess I have that going for me HAHA. I actually really enjoy it.
