I loved your article Rashmi. I myself am an Area Manager in a leading MNC, and I have to lead people far senior than me, all MBAs, albeit from lesser gifted institutes than mine, and at most times having a far larger market knowledge than me. Agreed, they are not expansive in thinking, but that could well be a product of them being conditioned to think that way.It takes a good amount of self confidence to prove to yourself that you are better than the rest and at the end of it, deserve that higher salary than the guy who has been roughing it out since the last 5 years.
