The second banana means someone in any field in a key supporting role or position in a company, project, or organization. They handle the details, execution, and day-to-day management, allowing the number one to be the upfront visionary of the organization. Second bananas are highly valuable individuals and are not subordinates. They should not be afraid of overstepping or losing their jobs. They should also have their facts right, which makes them priceless to top bananas. Other qualities discussed in Second Banana by Esther Poulsen include having self-confidence, not being intimidated by seniority, and having the ability to say no when necessary. Esther also emphasizes the importance of not being too hard on oneself when making decisions and how to operate as a second banana, with honesty and thoughtfulness playing an important role.
Second Banana by Esther Poulsen is a must-read! This thought-provoking work gets one thinking about various issues such as how to improve one’s life and how everything need not turn into a competition. Working under someone does not mean we are inferior. I loved how Esther provided personal examples and life experiences, which made the work very effective in passing on the intended message. The narration is excellent, and the logical flow is seamless, which leaves no room for confusion. The reader will also appreciate the easy-to-understand language used, which makes the work accessible to all audiences. This was an amazing read that left me contemplating how to deal with life, and I look forward to reading something else by this talented author.
