I probably get that question once a month or so, and just state that I learned a few years into my career that I enjoyed working with people to achieve something unique more than working with technology, hence my shift from technology work to project management.

Take aim & target? It's a journey & management by style. The key is "... and enjoy it!" not the ".. they don't want to do" part. That means you work with the team. Form it. Make it the norm.

Because I'm not a contractor my team are 8n the performing self realisation stage
