Alright so I've worked for the same company for the past 2 1/2 years. Consistently been one of the higher performing associates number wise. I have been told by 4 different people (store manager, HR, and 2 other managers) that I should really consider moving up to a management position.
By doing this, I would pretty much triple my income which would help me fund the things I really want to do with my life.
The problem is, although I generally get along with most people.. I am quite laid back and even though I am great at one on one conversations, I do not like speaking to groups of people. I do not like being put on the spot in general, even if it's to praise me. By being a manager there would be instances where I have to give meetings etc and quite frankly I'm just scared to do it.
I get butterflies, and my mouth gets dry. The whole nine yards. It's weird because there are times where I do find myself being more "dominant" in social situations but for some reason I don't seem to do it all the time.
I guess the overall point of this post is to ask if any of you are laid back individuals like myself who can be shy at times but still prevailed at managing people in the past or better yet, are doing it right now.
