I feel that I did not manage expectations in the beginning and I am paying for it now. We have to get some of that under control. I'm glad to know that there are others out there working like mad for the good of the community but possibly to our own detriment.

As a community manager you may be interested in the study that we are doing with Deloitte on communities. It's called the Tribalization of Business Study. If interested you can take the quantitative survey for the study at http://bit.ly/wkoOr. Just as we did last year we will share the results of the study with anyone who participates.

My $0.02 is that things change a little when you're not a small company community manager. At a certain point, the community itself steps in to fill many parts of the role that you described and your own job morphs into someone who manages the managers. it's still community work, but not quite as customer facing. At least, that's how it's played out here. As always, YMMV. :) Great post Deb.

Thank you. As someone tasked with the job of blogging and managing an online community, this post is incredible and is something I will continue to point people back to when they whine that my job is all sex and no work. The truth is, it's not. The pressure to constantly produce, to be the calm within the storm and to manage the many different personalities (and personal drama fests) that reside in an online community is exhausting just to think about. Thanks again for capturing it so well. This is an awesome post. Thank you.
