I am a short boss and considered top talent in our company. Up until a couple of months ago I managed a sales department with eight sales managers and hundred salespeople. In the last couple of months I have been asked to manage two additional sales channels as well as mine. So I currently manage three sales channels with eleven sales managers and one hundred fourty sales people.
Don't let your height make you feel you can't be a boss. You can! I would suggest focusing on developing your leadership skills, emotional intelligence, character, work ethic, and your industry specific competencies. People who are successful are willing to do things others aren't; including developing themselves.

I have 15+ years in the sales industry. I was hired on at my current employer 4 years ago as an analyst. I spent a year in the analyst role, and because I had sales leadership experience, I leveraged that in to a sales manager role as soon as it was available. My team owned the sales floor for about 18 months and I was promoted to Sr. Sales and Operations Manager about and year and a half ago.
