Well done. I agree with the statement about leading people. You manage programs; you lead people.
I also like Doug's input: this is your job, period. Time doesn't matter. You have to treat it like it is yours forever.
Tap into the knowledge of the others in a similar position.
Read the Lincoln book.
Have fun learning about yourself.
Congratulations!
