      I really like working with people – so usually it is a lot of fun. Managing to hire people to help you achieve the questions you want to work on but don’t have the time to do yourself can help a lot.

      But it is also hard work, because when you hire someone to work for you its important you look after them and give them the support they need to work the best.

      It can be hard to tell which people need / want really close supervision and help, and who just wants to be left alone to get on with it. Balancing that is tough
