Managing Up (RTL)
The reality of today’s workplace is that individual success depends not just on how well you do your job, but on how well your supervisor does theirs. A supervisor’s role is not one of command and control, but of collaboration – just as much as your efforts influence theirs, theirs influence yours.
The principles of managing up are designed to make your supervisor's work life easier, which in turn makes their subordinates’ workplace environment easier as well. Work will run smoother, you'll encounter less conflict, and you'll make a positive impression on your supervisor, ultimately forging a successful relationship.
Managing Up is an interactive tool that helps you lay the groundwork for a more productive working relationship with your supervisor.
