I'm a middle manager and it's quite challenging and rewarding at the same time. I can resonate with all the content of this post, which it a lot. Thanks Gaurav.

Leaving here a relevant quote from Andy Grove, the author of High Output Management:

"As a middle manager, you are in effect a chief executive of an organization yourself… As a micro CEO, you can improve your own and your group's performance and productivity, whether or not the rest of the company follows suit."

I’m a big believer that bosses should do everything they can to accommodate good employees. Too many use rules to control instead of support. I always say I’m a bender, not a breaker—there’s almost always a way to work with the rules instead of against them.
