Like I can't send anyone home. Only the VP can send everyone home early. Everything is scrutinized.

It's not about replicating the same actions. You're not a good manager just because you send people home early. It's about adopting the same mindset and approach in a way that fits your situation.
No middle manager is forced to be any such way. Just as a business owner manages the demands and requirements of running a business, which can vary greatly depending on the industry, a middle manager manages the demands and requirements of those they report to.
It's no more difficult to be a great middle manager than it is to be a great business owner. How you approach it is everything, and how you approach is a choice.
