Hi Kees,

Now I know the difference between a consultant and a manager:
consultant "life's good, pay's lousy, so basically nothing's changed"

manager "it pays good, but now my life is lousy, changed the basics (and nothing else)"

:)

You want your paradigm to be challenged: try and become a manager as well. Be it in a knowledge intensive (consultancy) organisation, a middle management position such as mine, confronts me with the difficulty of translating strategy into day to day behaviour, attitude, decisions, actions, problems and incidents.
Exactly knowing what should be done, and why it couldn't be, and not knowing how to change that.

besides that, everything is fine.

And indeed, these incidents, problems, actions etc. etc. are all occuring on an individual level. very context sensitive, and not manageable from a general, unified approach.

so, how is your life, and let's have lunch sometime.

have fun,
Daan
