Managing Up (Connecting with Your Supervisor) | Episode 58
In this episode, Ron and Kristin discuss the idea of managing up. This might suggest notions of an incompetent manager with whom you can’t stand to work with. Basically, the type of manager that is constantly micromanaging, giving vague feedback, and forcing you to work overtime. However, at its core, managing up isn’t about trying to “fix” a bad manager or manipulating a manager into doing what you want.
Rather, managing up is a soft skill centered around using the traits of a good manager to help you bring out the best in yourself as an employee. When done effectively, managing up makes you and your manager’s day-to-day job easier.
