Must. Control. Leading.

Learning to control my "leading" may prove to be more difficult than I think. At my current job I have stepped easily into a leadership role. And co-workers have easily let me. At one point I was a supervisor and managed people. Even though I don't do that now, I still "manage" people to help me complete tasks I need to do my job. I am not bossy, but generally give guidance and whatever support I can.

It has been easy for me to step up since I realize most people don't want to lead. They don't want to make decisions and to be held accountable for their choices. Eh, I don't have a problem with that. And my way may not be the right way to get it done, but I have found that if you give people a direction they will give you feedback on what will work. Then you are on the right track.

I also have little tolerance for things not getting done. I have high expectations of others, but I also expect the same from myself.

This ease of leadership may not come so easy with the PTA at my girl's school. Or I need to scope it out a little longer. But I really want to step in and lead. I am itching to do so. And I need to work on my tolerance of things NOT getting done. Bleh.
