Managing Up: A cheat sheet

Episode #162 // We get an unbelievable number of questions every month about how to manage up more effectively.

It’s important to make sure your boss doesn’t prevent you from performing at your best (or enjoying your work)! 

So the dynamic you should be trying to create is to manage up to enhance performance, not just to feather your own nest. All too often, managing up becomes a Machiavellian game with a high body count, and the organization suffers tremendously as a result, in terms of both culture and performance.

In this episode I cover how to really know what type of boss you’re working for, and I provide 9 hot tips for managing up in any situation. Ultimately, if you do your job really well, a good boss will enhance your work, and a bad boss will be less of a factor!
