[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Excellent judgment, sense of fairness, understanding about people, high EQ, life experience, empathy and outstanding people skills[/b] 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]15:42 again. Yep, I have those skills. Time to move on to where I can use them.[/quote]
