So is there any downside to becoming a manager? 

One possibility is the  simple fact that it takes time. By the time most of us become managers, we’re not as young as we used to be.  What this means is that we find ourselves in a workplace filled with  younger people trying to use our manager skills to manage teams made up  of younger people. 

All of sudden it can be very easy for us to start to  feel as though we might not be keeping up. How can a manager deal with  this situation?
