Show Notes:

“Managing up” means:

  • You’re looking out for your entrepreneur.
  • Taking a leadership perspective, which is the wider view, not only focused on the tasks in front of them.
  • Knowing your entrepreneur’s long-term vision for themselves, for your team, and for the company.
  • Getting feedback and having strategic conversations.
  • Having a helper mindset: “How can I help?”
  • Communicating your needs—technology, training, resources—to be much faster, make things easier, and achieve a bigger result.
  • Your entrepreneur can say, “I never think about you”—because you take ownership, and they never have to worry about you.
  • Assuming positive intent and digging deeper to understand the logic of strategies you disagree with. Use The Strategy Circle® thinking tool to help see the goal and obstacles and suggest alternative strategies.
  • Speaking up when you see potential train wrecks; yes, it is your place to say something when you see something others don’t.
