When am I ready for a store?
Almost 3 years with SW and I’ve been ASM at a small, (relatively) easy store for about a year. I’m debating whether to apply for SM at a similar store. I worry because I struggle with confidence and getting overwhelmed, so I’ve come to rely on someone else being in charge. I don’t want to crash and burn, and I REALLY don’t want to make the crew miserable while I adjust to the job. To the SM’s on here, how did you know when you were ready for the jump? Are there things you made sure to know or prepare for? And how do you deal with suddenly being accountable for everything?
