Episode notes

Managing up is not about flattery. It’s about influence, and taking control of your career before someone else does.

⁠Order Now the Book: Managing Up: How to Get What You Need from the People in Charge⁠

In this episode, Melody Wilding—executive coach, professor, and author of Managing Up—joins Kwame to unpack one of the most overlooked (and misunderstood) career skills: learning how to manage your boss. If you’ve ever felt invisible, undervalued, or like you're doing everything right but still not moving forward, this conversation will shift your entire perspective on leadership at work.

You’ll learn:

• Why “being a team player” might be damaging your reputation and future

• How to set boundaries without making enemies or risking your job

• What managing up really means—and why it’s not the same as sucking up
