Excited and Scared!

I work in a Learning & Training organizatiion within a VERY large company.  We've been needing a reorganization and cleaning up of RAAs (responsibility, authority, accountability) for a long time.  People who do the same job report to different managers and even are located in different sections of the organization.  It makes it difficult to get agreement on how and what to do in certain situations.  

Well, things are finally going to change.  As a result of the upcoming changes, I will be in more of a leadership role.  Not a manager - which I would not want - but like a team lead. I will be the lead for the Design & Development group.  These are the people who identify learning solutions and the people who either develop the solutions or work with suppliers to get the job done.  I would also hope that this is the group that will own the processes.  Not owing the process has been a major problem in the past.

I'm excited and scared at the same time.  I have not been very motivated about work for the last year or so and my manager finally told me that he sees that.  He shared with me that he thinks I'm a good candidate, but that I would need to be more assertive and MUCH less passive.  I think it is really great that he would trust me with this role, in spite of his reservations.  I think it is what I need to push me in the correct direction and get my working groove back.  And a lot of the changes they're talking about making will resolve problems and remove roadblocks people in this position experienced in the past.
