Lesson 13: The Other Side

While I can't go too deeply into details, today I learned what it's like to sit on the executive side of the desk for once.

The amount of "power" that an individual has in a professional supervisory role is intense, and I now have a new found respect for people who are in charge of making decisions that can change people's lives. Of course, I've held leadership positions before. I've presided over important decisions, but sitting in that big chair in the workplace is definitely a unique experience. Can I get used to it? I'm not sure yet. Maybe I need more practice.
