Hah, everything. :P

You work with a portfolio and a group of managers, help them with discipline, performance management, coaching, training, provide advice on policy, guidelines and legislation, support them with OD initiatives like annual performance review or mandatory training etc. You're basically a 1 person HR department for a group of managers

At long last I had my sewer camera repaired yesterday at around 3k. Now I don't want to use it. Can you imagine sticking a 10k piece of equipment down a stinking drain?
