You've made it to the top. Then what?

I'd love to hear your opinions and/or stories about *finally* getting to that corner office and how your schedule/management style/office friendships shifts. Do you wonder if it was all worth it? Do you feel like you can breathe a bit? Do you feel the pressure to accomplish more, or is it the same ol' BS with a better view?

As a Coach, I work with many Executives in transition. What we have found is that so much depends on the culture of the company. If the executive is lucky, they are able t bring the people who had been their friends and colleagues with them as they move up the ladder. This helps to reduce some of the stress, because they have familiar faces. The other thing we have found is when what the role is and is not, along with clear expectations, have been established, the transition is easier. Leadership and Management are two different skill sets. It's important to understand this, and when sitting in the corner office, know when to use which. But, helping my Clients to breathe when they are in these positions, is part of what I do! It's fun and satisfying watching this happen!
