Awww it is really an advantage, seriously.
Despite having virtually no qualifications I dont think I have had a job that was not in a management position since my first job at 16
I very rarely start off or even apply for management roles but it never takes very long.
I think it helps me connect with people better for some reason, I don't/can't do superficial. And I very rarely talk about it. I am sure that it is the reason for my popularity with ladies despite being so uncoordinated that I cant dance : )
