I found in my last job as IT director that at least 90% of my time was taken up with the following: team-building, leadership, mentoring, strategic planning, budgeting, purchasing, vendor, client & user management as well as project management. The other 10% got me involved with problem solving or actually doing some hands on. I had a staff of 14 in 6 offices and managaged the whole enterprise.
So – how hands on are you and how do you strike a balance?
