Yes, by "making the switch" I was not referring to just suddenly become director material. It is basically how I can change how I learn. What you have mentioned is useful, thanks, and I am trying my best to do all of those, but how I improve is linear at best. I see others who grow better than linear, and would like to emulate them. Ultimately my goal is not to just strive towards a Director, but to become a solid performer who strategizes/works like one.
