Lots of questions packed in this one! Holistically, it was listening to, and asking for feedback, coupled with how I was feeling about the work I was doing. As I progressed in my career and gained more experiences in understanding what work drives business value, I gained new perspectives that led me toward thinking more about my future (management vs remaining in a technical role). Again, listening to feedback from others who felt I would be a good fit for management, and reaching a point in my career of wanting to try something new, I jumped on an opportunity to get into management. Both are incredibly difficult in different ways in the industry I’m in (IT), but I know I can leave work satisfied when we deliver outcomes that our customers want, and it improves their day-to-day. I’m more satisfied when my direct reports are happy with the work they do, and grow in all aspects of their job. Some of these fulfillments are realized after long periods of time as a lot of time and energy is put into developing employees, but that’s the world I’m in, and it’s getting even crazier with AI.
