You know, this is just BS. Some people get restless and want to do more. Others are ambitious and want to have more responsibility. Others want more money to live on. There are lots of reasons, but few, very few go into management because they "couldn't hack managing a territory". Some just get bored with the routine. I think I was one of those. After 15 years, I left the territory and finally accepted a promotional position into AP. Best decision, maybe, I ever made. It gives you an entirely different view of what is going on and why. It's a view that is almost impossible to explain, but it provides an understanding why things happen. Who would hire someone into a training or manager position because they were unable to perform and deliver results in their last position?
Put your drink down and please start to think more clearly.
So maybe until you have the opportunity to take the next step, you might consider that there are other viewpoints from other positions, that are different from yours out in the field. Points that have more background, more experience, more information than you have in your current position.[/QUOTE
