One leads to the other. At my level, you have to like managing people, mentoring, guiding the next generation of chief information officers or directors general.
However, in doing that, I may also touch on what I like: finding strategies and solutions. Of course, getting higher up in the organization chart, I am no longer the one doing the coding or directly awarding contracts; that is handled by the employees who report to me.
Nonetheless, I found a way to do those things. I like managing teams, I like talking to people about my own mistakes so they can learn from them, I like advancing their careers. I find that truly enriching, but I can do it at the same time as I meet the needs associated with my position.
