Managing Up: Become an Indispensable Resource August 17, 2012

Managing the boss is a way to have a win-win-win situation where everyone, including the organization and projects, wins."
Are you considered a resource for your boss?
Do you know your boss' personal style?
Can your boss tell their boss what you have done successfully lately?
Do you drop problems on your boss' desk and run?
When I ask staff if they they think they should manage their boss, typically I get a resounding "no". Yet, when I ask the managers in the room if they want to be managed by their team they say "yes". Your boss wants to be managed!
Management can be quite a difficult task. Not only does your boss have his work, projects, team, schedule, tasks while at the same time report to his boss progress on you. He wants your help.

In this class Managing Up we will review some key components to how to manage your boss. Do you bring him choices to problems that come up? Do they need data and information? Are your one on ones formatted to be most successful to you, your boss and the organization? Mostly likely your boss needs and wants you to stand up, think clearly and be proactive; by doing this you too will become indispensable.
By mastering the Managing Up concept, you will be able to:

1. Understand how to communicate to your boss the way they need and want information
2. Become a provider of solutions not problems
3. Learn to brag about your successes
4. Develop a strong reporting strategy to get your needs met.
