Listen Later

In this episode of The Boss Lady Podcast, Teresa and Jennifer unpack one of the most misunderstood—and most powerful—leadership skills: managing up. Managing up isn’t about manipulation, politics, or managing the person above you. It’s about shared accountability, clear communication, and setting everyone up for success. This conversation breaks down what managing up really means, why it matters at every level, and how to do it with integrity, confidence, and trust. Whether you’re leading a team or influencing from the middle, this episode offers practical guidance to help you work more effectively with the people above you, which makes everyone’s job easier.
