Managing Up for Career Success
Have you ever worked in a truly terrible environment? Think back to that job now. What made it so bad?
If you’re like most people, the difference between a great job and a horrible job doesn’t have all that much to do with the work itself. Instead, it usually comes down to your relationships with your coworkers — and especially your relationship with your boss.
Having a positive, healthy relationship with your boss, based on genuine trust and respect, makes your working life so much easier, and ultimately helps you both reach your career goals.
So how can you build that kind of relationship? And how can you repair your relationship with your boss if it’s not off to a great start?
On today's episode, we are talking about “managing up,” a professional development strategy that will help you build better working relationships, find more satisfaction on the job and remove the trickiest obstacles between you and your ultimate career goals.
