You Have To Manage Your Manager!

In this episode, I explain why you must manage your manager. Unfortunately, this task falls on you.  So today  I lay out why managing your manager is very important, how to determine the type of manager you have, and how to build a positive relationship with your manager, even if you don’t like her.

I explain:



* What managing up really means

* The 9 types of bosses you may have and how to think through managing them

* The rules of engagement you need to enact to manage your manager and build a stronger relationship

* Why you never show your frustration with your boss

* An all-knowing or indecisive boss

* A manager who gives you conflicting messages

* A long-winded boss

* A hands-off boss

* A manager who isn’t as smart as you
