Sometimes a person can be really good at something they don't really care for or care about.
I can sympathize with her; "business" can mean a lot of things, including endless politicking, insincere communication, misplaced priorities, etc. And as you grow in importance you get lots more inbound attention (mostly undesirable), more decisions to make, and so on. Being a figurehead before peacing out completely was a good move.
- GordonS 6y agoI feel this, although on a much smaller and less financially beneficial level :) Every.single.time I write technical documentation, everyone tells me how wonderful it is. But I always feel like it took me forever to write, and the whole thing felt like a horrible, horrible chore; a total bore-fest. Later I read it back and I'm like: "meh, this is so dry and boring!". But of course, I wasn't writing prose - I was writing a reference document, so I suppose it's not meant to be anything but boring. And OK, while writing it I might of wished I was grating my face instead - but numerous people over a period of decades have told me how good I am at it, so I suppose I must be, even though I hate it.
