The paradox of success is that the better you become at something the more you move away from it.

You start as a supervisor and team leader, then a manager and lead, and then a director.

You’re becoming more and more detached from the essence of the work over this time; it’s less about the work and more about the Excel spreadsheets you are required to review.

How do YOU keep your interest up in your area of work as you move away from it?
