I've made them clear I don't want to be just an employee who gets in at 9 am and leaves at 5 pm. I want to lead, set up standards within the company on how the projects should be done. I've made it very clear to them that I want to know more about what's going on and not just sit in a corner writing code. But yes, I didn't say " I want to be a project manager". Because I don't think that would be appropriate as I was hired as a developer. And yes, project management is about connecting with your team, making sure they know the bigger picture of the project as well as company and importantly, make sure you give respect to others and not try to be THE MANAGER. Sorry for my big para. That is what I am concerned about. What do you think is the good style? I fear I don't know these things. That is what I think I lack. Please help me get to a better style.
