It’s the itchy season
Shorter days, darker nights, more time to think about the New Year. That’s what usually happens to me around this time. Not to say I want to jump ship into something new but, for the last 10 years perhaps because I was approaching the big 50, I have always been itchy around this time, wondering just WHAT shade of green the grass might be on the other side.
I will have been in my current company for around 5 years in February 2023 and in that time I steered the team to achieve a lot:
Created and implemented a strategy to drive revenue up 20% YoY
The team grew by 20% in 5 years
The average project value increased by 18%
Created a new development team from scratch
Oversaw the design, development, testing and rollout of some great automation software
Did exactly the same process to turn it into a SaaS product
And a heck of a lot more behind the scenes.
Thing is, I love creating, I love having ideas and working in challenging technical environments — not that I DO the work you understand, but having a team with Mekon-like brains and talents to match is such a great thing to be around.
But like all things, we yearn for change, advancement and moving “Up” that is, facing a new exciting challenge.
I mean, by January I might be over that itch but, I might not…
What about my fellow Directors/C-Suite-ers?
