[quote=Anonymous]I am flying out this weekend for an interview as a director/head of a small organization, which is located on an academic campus. Right now, I am middle management at a very, very large (one of the biggest) versions of the same kind of organization.

I have the right academic pedigree,  lot of the requisite skills and experience,  but I have not been in senior management--I'm the deputy to my departmental head, so I 'get it' and have been party to many leadership decisions,  but I haven't been the one running the show. Secondly, I haven't overseen a budget, which is part of this job.

I will certainly get asked the question about management experience and specifically budget experience (their budget is just until 2m, where I am now it is 200plus, so very different kinds of budgets anyway). Any thoughts about how to answer honestly but convincingly that my decade plus of mid level experience at the one of the leading institutions of its kind prepares me for taking the helm of a smaller one?
