Uppers
Managing people. Every day is different. Solving equipment issues is
challenging and rewarding.

Downers
Being politically savvy. This doesn't mean 'politics' in the
negative sense. It means being aware of how people perceive you,
both negatively and positively, and changing your communication
style to work best with every individual, because everyone's
different. This the hardest part of being a good manager and how
well someone does this separates great leaders from good leaders.
