IC track dead-end, where to go next?

I am a Staff @ Intuit and like what I do. I have been consistently told that I do good on people management and leadership has come forward with giving me a large sub-team (around 12 reports) within my current bigger team.

I personally don’t think I’m good at people management contrary what everyone else believes. My tolerance to coach and especially encourage tenured engineers who are bad at their job is very low. I easily get frustrated looking at bad design proposals, code, and generally bad engineering (however, I mask this irritation well)

However, after my level - scope of IC growth is very limited and very hard. Principal engineer promotions take years of portfolio building and candidates must show Intuit wide massive impact. Lot of red tape to get there.

What should I be doing here or rather, what would you do?
