I thought about "Let me get back to you" as I read your entry this morning on AlmostFearless. I was an eager, talented, intelligent employee who got promoted--and who was just terrible as a manager. The reason I got into the field--to work with people--just wasn't the interest of management at all. I totally agree with you: the great smart people who get promoted into management almost never do well there. They're miserable. And their bosses usually know it. And are gleeful about it, too. ;) Thanks, Christine. I thought about “Let me get back to you” as I read your entry this morning on AlmostFearless.

Up to a certain point, you get rewarded for being like that at work! Then they make you a manager and suddenly your YES means work for other people not just yourself. It's a great way to get a staff mutiny on your hands! That’s great advice, and I think it’s true. Up to a certain point, you get rewarded for being like that at work!
