The President of Operations at your company, previously the VP of Connected Services and your boss, smiles as he firmly shakes your hand.

"Revenues are up 10% and it is clearly attributable to the work of your team," he says. "The CEO and I have decided to create a new position, Vice President of Connected Analytics. I want you to lead it."

"Thank you and I hope to earn the confidence placed in me," you say, trying to hide your smile.

"Oh, you already have that," he winks, "You can tell your team. They stay with you and we're adding a data management team and a frontend prototyping team to your group. Did I tell you that we are doubling the number of IoT products in the next fiscal year?"

He nods and turns to stroll away still smiling.

"You start immediately," he says over his shoulder.

You think to yourself, I finally made it. After all the work and stress, I made it. You enjoy the thought for a few minutes. Until you come to the realization: Wait, how am I going to manage double the products and a much larger team while still meeting the revenue expectations of the C...E...O?
