Back to Our Roots
Every once in a while, we need to get back to our roots. Today, I was introduced to an opportunity that reminded me of my operational past. Something made me decide to give up running restaurants and taking responsibility for a team to learn a profession. When I have had the chance to work with a team again, it is the most rewarding thing I have done. I have convinced myself that I don't want have the responsibility of a complete facility. This is curious because I did it before I could drink legally. What makes us decide to become specialists? The nice schedule doesn't hurt, but we lose out on the excitement of making it all work. Here's to the operators and those of us that decide to be their support team.

I like to lead a team of specialists. It's the best of both worlds. All the responsibility for growing and building just the parts of the organization I'm good at and interested in working on and the challenge of influencing the rest. Having the whole gig, which the models say should be my next job is just getting distracted from what I do best.
