Well, I haven't had a manager directly above me for around 9 months now and so I've been doing that job and my job. I was basically already told I would have that job but because they are expecting to reorganize the company in the next couple of years, I'm not going to be promoted because that job may not exist soon. I only add that tidbit because it directly influences how I spend my time since I'm essentially doing the work of two people.
90% tasks - project work, reports, leading cross dept. implementations.
10% managing my direct reports.
I was probably closer to a 70/30 ratio before. Basically this means I don't have enough time to develop staff like I used to. Fortunately I already have some strong ones in place that I've already developed, the new folks are the ones that don't get enough of my time.
