Thanks for a truly insightful article. You're so very right...esp re middle management. You get all the responsibility and, if you're not political, you take all the hits. It's really perfect for the organization; get a young stud (or studess) who thinks that they can make their bones and rapidly move up the food chain. They work hard and long, only to be continually yoked with even more-and often dirty-work. I too was at one time overly impressed with my level of clout and 'power', and gave a helluva lot, only to discover that even after you gave them the eight pints of blood that you had, guess what? They still wanted even more. The major recompense was, as another writer noted, that the leadership aspects, and protecting your staff, were great experiences.

Thanks again for a great article.

You hit the nail on the head on many of these points. I've seen people want to move up to management merely for the status it provides. If that's all you want, it's not worth it. I love the leadership aspect of management and I consider it a support function for my direct reports. But you have to enjoy that part of it to enjoy being a manager. Otherwise your hearding cats and shuffling papers.

Somewhat related, the Hardvard Business Review recently published a piece talking about the new set of skills required by those aspiring towards a C-Suite position. It is a good read to help understand the changes that have occurred during the last few years (e.g., CIO today is not the same as even just 5 years ago). http://kazexchange.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/c-suite/
