What Is Managing Up?
Managing up is all about making your manager’s life easier.
Why would you want to make their life easier?! Your boss may make the final goal, but there are points for assists, plus the whole team wins when they score. In other words, if you help your boss, they look great and so do you.
It is about learning how to work well with somebody who may work differently than you.” Managing up, therefore, means that you understand your boss’ goals, position, blind spots, and objectives. You help them to meet their expectations and needs.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
