It's time that I make a change. Yesterday, I found out the nature of my new position. In short, they put the wrong person in the wrong role. I have a peer who is far better at what I'm about to be responsible for managing yet I am fairly sure there was a political reason for the assignment. This role is not what I am built for. I want to be able to take something apart, see how it works, put it back together and get people fired up about it.

I am not an author, at least not for a career path. What I need to do next, though, and where that will be is the question of the hour. I can't just up and leave my company - I have too many obligations to do that. But I can't be hindered in finding that next step because I have stability. How do I pull this off?
