The Do’s Of Managing Up

  • Get to know your manager: Learn more about the human behind your manager. Find out what they like, dislike, and value most.
  • Do an honest self-assessment: Consider how your colleagues and your manager view you.
  • Adapt: You cannot change your manager (no matter how hard you try). But you can change yourself and how you react to others.
  • Be proactive: Managing up takes some effort and proactivity on your part: if you know that your manager is too busy to notice something, be proactive and bring it to their attention.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

Jamyson Haug
