It can help to think of your priorities in terms of the applicable risk and corresponding rewards. Your team is increasingly consumed by low-risk tasks, like creating reports and addressing end-user requests. While important, these require a great deal of time and detract from your broader goals.
On the other hand, innovation and strategic initiatives are more challenging, but they offer the chance to make a more significant contribution. These are the projects where your resources are best put to use—and where they can increase job satisfaction. You need a partner to help manage the lower-value tasks while also providing support for the higher-value projects that contribute to organizational goals.
