One of the attributes of a Director is the ability to grow great managers. Look at this triumvarate of Director, Manager and Leader to map where your strengths and interestes lie. If you like the technical side of things, going up the ladder, you could be a manager. If you are interested in the people side of things, then you will be a leader that your employees trust in. They will let you know so.

To go from a Leader to Director, enlarge your vision to include the mission.

Bitcoin is to blockchain, as email is to the Internet " Blockchain technology will fundamentally change how transparency and authenticity are derived with anything from food, to ownership of vehicles, to verifying memorabilia, to personal identification due to continuing centralized companies being hacked." - Tampa Conference  “The Past, Present and Future of Blockchain and C...
