Managing Made Simple

155: Where we go wrong with managing up, and how to do it right


Listen Later

Could the way you're advocating for your team actually be working against you?

Spoiler: yes, the answer is yes.

When we're under a lot of pressure, it can be easy to pass this along to our higher-ups, trying to get some relief for our team. But when we sound the alarms without coming with solutions, our own leaders can lose confidence in our abilities.

In this episode, I talk about how to effectively manage up, one of the most important ways to earn respect from both your team and own managers.

Key Topics Covered:

  • [0:00] The hidden challenges of managing up.
  • [3:14] How to frame risks and trade-offs for senior leaders.
  • [5:12] Real-world strategies for turning tough situations into team wins.
