So I'm managing a team of 12 SDRs for a software company but we've been doing this for a while now so they don't really need too much support or supervision. They know what to do and how to do it well. constantly exceeding quota and not needing too much coaching. I've been managing this team for 2 years now and I've been with the company for 5. Came in as an SDR and moved up because of my results.
The issue is that sometimes I get bored and feel bad for not being so productive and I feel like I could be doing so much more and give my full potential. Of course I put in the work but I feel like I'm efficient enough to have enough bandwidth for more. I've already mentioned this to my boss (director of sales development) but there isn't that much going on in the office right now for him to hand me any more responsibilities/teams/challenges, (or that's what he says).
And on the other hand, I know I should just take advantage of the relaxed times since I'm still getting paid and I'll probably want a break if I was constantly busy and being more productive; you know the grass is always greener on the other side.
So what should I do? Push more? Look for options at other companies? Just wait? What would you do?
