@jim Before I retired, I was able to ratchet back my leadership responsibilities over the course of about four years. It was difficult at first, but eventually I became pretty good at championing the successes of others and resisting the urge to grab the reins. It can be a much more gratifying kind of work if you approach it from the right perspective, which it sounds very much like you are.

This phased approach reallly helped with my transition to full retirement, which would have been more of a jolt if I had gone from 50-60 hours a week of working to a full stop.

Enjoy the ride!
