[quote=Anonymous]You are in a Sr. management position so you should have the opportunity to take a look at the role and shape it and if you can't you need to find a different role.

It sounds like you are in a lot of meetings, I would start training your team to take on some of your responsibilities and delegate attendance for certain meetings to take things off your plate.  If your team doesn't have the skill set needed to take on these tasks put together a plan to make it happen.  Set the expectation that you will be home for dinner 3 times a week and follow through.

I know that personally my productivity goes way down after 50-55+ hrs a week, it isn't that I am a slacker it just becomes hard to focus and I make mistakes.  I accept that there are times when we have a deadline and need to power through but that is the expectation not the rule.  I hate that setting realistic expectations on your time is being mommy tracked, most people aren't productive after a certain threshold of time, it isn't a characteristic of females.

If you can't make changes and set the expectations for your group I would leave because you then are Sr. Management in name only.  You are in a position where you should be setting the tone for the organization.  I would argue that making some changes along these lines will help the organization attract and retain talent.[/quote]
