So, here I comfortably sit, listening to this unexpected story. Rose lives halfway around the world, in a culture that is unfamiliar to me, yet her dilemma is like many I hear about every day. Life is uncertain. Many decisions, we can only judge in hindsight. Rose was both excited and apprehensive.

“I do understand that if I were to take up this new job, it would be a fantastic stepping stone for me into management level as compared to my current position. It is like Pandora’s Box. There is no absolute gain by taking up this new position. I would be doing everything, overseeing the production team, marketing the product lines, diversifying the brand. Yes, it would be extremely exciting, maybe too exciting. As the days pass, I’m finding more and more reason for not taking this job. Perhaps, I should just stay put in my comfort zone. Why do I have to go through this kind of dilemma?”

So, here is my question to you. If management is a social act, why did you decide to take on the responsibility? What is it about management that pulled you toward the flame? -TF
