It's having to fulfill the obligations of what's being told to you by upper management, even though you may not even agree with it, See, being in management is dealing with the emotions of a dozen or more employees, and each one of those have four or five emotions within every single interaction. And sometimes they fly off and sometimes they're having trouble at home and sometimes they're broke. And sometimes can you keep all of that together and keep them going Because it's about getting the most you can out of every person that you lead. Being a manager is also about realizing that other employees don't give a fuck about what you got going on personally, the fact that you gotta bring your A game when everybody else brings their c and d game. See, being in management is not just numbers and directives. It's about making sacrifices for the collective good of the entire team. And sometimes that means that you have to call home and say, Hey, I'm gonna have to miss the event because I'm not done here. A salesperson. You can have a bad day, you can fly off the handle.

Now, You can do management, but can you do everything it takes to be a manager and think so you're not ready.
