There's been talk of a promotion for me shortly. I'm excited, but stressed because I'm overthinking what will be required of me in terms of leadership skills. I'm introverted and really don't like telling people what to do or being in charge. What should I do?

You are likely already operating at the next level if you are being considered for promotion. I was hesitant too, but at the end of the day they wouldn’t promote you if they didn’t think you could handle it.

Even as an introvert what matters the most is that you’re able to help your fellow associates and be a first point of contact for questions before escalating to a manager.
They wouldn’t consider promoting unless you’ve already been functioning at that level anyway so I’d say you’re overthinking it and doing just fine

Take the promotion and figure it out after. It’s probably not going to be much different than what you are doing now.

On another note if you don’t like being in charge that’s something you’ll have to start getting used to. It’s not a huge change because you’ll still have managers in charge who get the final say on things. You’ll be more of a right hand man for them. And instead of telling people what to do, how about you work with people to figure out what they’re able to help YOU with. See a project as yours and accept help completing it from others

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?
