It's often lonely at first, but experts say there are things you can do to improve your situation. This should be my dream job: I'm making good money, I have a lot of responsibility, and I'm a senior leader in my organization. I've always liked to work, and I'm good at my job. But I've never been a manager before, and now that I am one, I'm not sure I'm cut out for it. Finally, the thing I'm struggling with the most is that while I'm ready for a challenge and ready for more, I want to focus on myself and my career, not on other people's.
