A director is usually a department or division head in a business. The director supervises and leads a group of managers and employees in a particular area of an organization. For example, large companies may have a director of human resources, marketing, production and information technology.

For someone with a director title, I have very few direct reports. In fact, I only have two currently: a manager and an analyst. I do have another manager starting in about a week, but I was just informed that my analyst is quitting. The problem is that the analyst position is specialized, and we do not have any potential internal replacement candidates. I need to start the process of recruiting an external hire, but that will likely take a long time. In the meantime, the analyst is going to train me in doing their regular tasks so I can transfer the knowledge later. I have done most of the tasks before, but there is about 25% that I am unfamiliar with.
Oh, and I will also need to train the new manager to take over some of my existing responsibilities. The upcoming three to four months are going to be super busy and I may need to go into the office more often each week. ðŸ˜
