I agree entirely with this statement:

>As a contributor, you have to be an expert, but you're really not on the hook.

>As a decider, you can be a generalist, but you're on the hook.

My transition was from a decider at smaller companies to a contributor, working from home, at a large company. The deciders at my large company spend 30+ hours a week in meetings. I spend less than 5 hours a week in "meetings" though I may collaborate 1:1 or 1:small group much more from time to time.

Decide how you want your work to look in 5-10 years: on the hook, or not really?
