I am the younger sister of an older brother. Now that has prepared me quite well for navigating a male-dominated world. When there are more than two siblings, the dynamics change. The kid in the middle is sandwiched in between the older sibling and the younger child. In my view, middle managers are like sandwich kids. They have to cater to the higher echelons of management, while making their teams happy and staying motivated themselves! Middle managers need more attention, praise and just need to be seen.I am the younger sister of an older brother. Now that has prepared me quite well for navigating a male-dominated world.
