Our approach is both practical and inspirational. Our training is carefully designed and tested to develop the key skills and confidence needed while being highly participatory and fun
We all need to be able to communicate effectively with people within our organization and the way we interact with peers and our own employees should be no different to the way we interact with our manager. In practice, it can sometimes seem difficult to address your manager and it would be useful to have an understanding of the best way to approach communication with those people in roles ‘above’ our own. Being able to influence upwards will not only benefit your own career, it will also ensure your manager has the support needed to ensure your organization meets its goals.
Managing up is a skill that every employee needs to learn. Recognize that it is YOUR responsibility to build this critical relationship. This attitude will get you the results you want. Understand the manager’ priorities, likes and dislikes, sense of urgency and style of communication and target your behavior accordingly. In many ways, managing up is simply having the right attitude and realizing you have the ability to make things better.
