Has anyone here ever had a sudden revelation that they hate leading a team? If so, what did you do about it?

I wish more people realized this rather than become difficult or even distant leaders and not lead their teams effectively. Idk why people who know their stuff well are assumed to also be able to take on a managerial position for a team successfully

Haha you’re a director and hate leading teams? I love leading people smarter than me and hate leading people who don’t listen well or can’t make their own good decisions.

They prefer leading experts, as do I. Experts help leaders grow, expand their skills, and improve their leading skills, Leading people who don’t listen or can’t make their own decisions is like herding cats. You run around all day, nothing gets accomplished, and the room is in an even bigger mess than it was before you started.

My time as an Army officer made me so tired of it

Every project ends up with me leading some team given enough time. I like designing a solid solution, and I like coaching and teaching. But I really enjoy building the code too and working out the weird technical kinks and edge cases.

I hate when I have to give up building stuff myself because being a team lead demands my full time attention.

To finish answering the question, I haven’t done anything about it because I don’t want to risk giving up the $$ I make and because I’m not too sure what I should try to do instead.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
