[quote=Anonymous]I am very good at coming into an organization that needs a boost and new direction to get the next level and getting that done.  I love to assess, analyze, create a strategic plan, and implement while building a team.  I've done this successfully at my last four jobs, which have been progressively senior with managment responsibilities and more complex each time.  What I am NOT good at is sustaining that success once I've achieved it.  I get bored.  It starts to feel routine.  And in my current job, I am actually trapped between two affiliated organizations with a dotted line report to one executive who, while he doesn't control my review, pay, etc, has significant impact on my day to day because he influences business decisions for our work.  And I feel like he's an impediment because he can't sustain focus for longer than a month or two and is a poor communicator/manager to boot, so now I'm not only bored but frustrated.  This executive is halfway through a five year contract and I'm guessing unlikely to renew, so I could try to wait him out.  But I'm finding it brutally hard.

So I'm asking myself - is this a personal growth situation where I need to focus on really developing the skills required to sustain success for a number of years until the next big upward push is needed, or do I simply accept that I am a turnaround artist whose skills are best used in that way and move on to the next gig?
