Relief

Just got back from class and now I can lay here in bed and wonder how my interview actually went...

How do I feel?

Relieved.
Anxious.
Ambivalent.
Drained.

Just a few words that come to mind.

As always, I say: TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED.

Luckily, when asked if there were any other quesstions, I asked the following question:
"what critical leadership attributes do you think a new leader should possess?"

This question gave me hope. It made me feel good knowing that there was criteria for selection and that it was not as subjective as I assumed it to be (they actually pulled out a list of attributes that they were looking for). They were looking for specific buzz words and examples (as they should) and hopefully my fellow interviewees--as well as myself---were able to answer correctly.

I am ambivalent. Really, I am. I like my job. It's a job of authority yet without all the added responsibilty. I just don't want to be complacent where I am now. I should be challenged and seek challenges to keep me on my toes. That's why this leadership position would be good for me. Take me outta my comfort zone. See how I manage change and handle resistance. Test all my knowledge and experience. Lead, motivate and enable them to succeed.

I know a lot of business theories and models.....let's just see if I can apply them.

Im relieved its over.
