If you're finding free time, then you're probably doing something right. My feeling is if you get a few smart people into the right places and give them latitude to solve their own problems then there's less for the manager to do. If I can give someone the bones of a plan and they can put the meat on it that always makes me very happy.

I haven't had a single role position in decades. is this why fractional employment is so popular now? it seems everything is always waiting on something, a call, a meeting, a task completion by somebody else.
