After being at m6d for over 2 years, I am being promoted to a team lead! I think this is big. This is as big as it gets.
I am excited. Not crazy excited, but excited. I get to lead. Again. I think I’m a leader and I can help others. I can push others as well so that they get better. I think this is going to be a pretty big thing in the next year.
2013 is shaping up to be a great year! Love that.
As with anything, there are risks. I don’t completely understand the systems. I need to get on top of that. I really need to “get it.”
I think I was due. I was due for this. It’s been over 4 years since I last held a team lead position. I have to approach it a bit differently this time. I have to take it easy. I don’t want to skimp on praise. I want to add some constructive criticism, but I have to be careful. When in doubt, I have to stay away from it.
This opens up quite a few interesting possibilities and learnings for me. Risks as well. We’ll see.
Am I up to the task? We’ll see!
