- You are developing managements skills and ability and seem to be effective. A management position is full for challenges and pitfalls
You have to satisfy the upper management and pacify the subordinate employees, so that is why you are called middle management. You are sandwiched between two demanding scenarios and you are expected to handle it properly and come out of it alive.
You may not realize how challenging it is to be a owner or boss of a company. I have established and is presently managing my own trading company. Being the owner of the company, I have ultimate responsibility for the business. When you manage it properly, you have good financial benefits, but if you run into trouble, you could be driven into bankruptcy or even jail, so I have to keep a close eye on everything under me. Recently one of my assistants unknowingly sold counterfeit brand products. I was hit by lawyers, customs and police. I had to do a lot to sort it out and when that fails, I would end up in prison. Thanks god, I got out of it and paid a reasonable compensation and apology. That is why staff dislikes their bosses. They don't even know they have a heavy weight on the shoulders of the boss of a company.

- I admire you so much that you run a company. The bigger your position is, the bigger your responsibility is, so is the stress, attention. In the common people's eyes, the boss is not that easy to be. And I think that's why there are leaders and followers. As leaders, they must consider all the aspect, even the slightest mistake can ruin all of his own.

My father once me. "If you are driving a small boat, keep close to shore".
Since then I have been quite careful in business, so there is still a long way to go before I can stand beside Bill Gates.
