[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a CPA, in shape, lots of energy.  But every time I read one of these stories about somebody with multiple Ivy degrees over 50 and out of work I panic.[/quote]Me too. I've been somewhat stuck in my job (where I had limited opportunity to expand and move up) for too many years because kid was going through a very difficult time and it seemed best to stay at a secure, family friendly place. But now that I can move, I'm a bit afraid to try something new.  I'm in my 50s and I should already be a manager now.  Is anyone going to take me seriously? [/quote]

Beint technically adept does not equal being management material, the most common mistake I see is promoting technically good people into management positions they aren't cut out for.  They're different jobs.[/quote]

Completely agree. Excellent judgment, sense of fairness, understanding about people, high EQ, life experience, empathy and outstanding people skills are important skills for managers. Biggest mistake is to promote someone who looks good on paper but sucks in real life. Lots of managers like this.[/quote]
