Atomic Talk Title: Managing Up: How to Lead when You are not the Boss

Most available leadership advice stresses the importance of effectively managing the team that you are charged with overseeing (that is, if you are a manager :). This typically follows a process of downward communication, in which the flow of information is directed down through each level of the organizational hierarchy—for example, from the executive suite, down to middle management, down to rank-and-file employees. Organizational theory, however, suggests that managing upward and sideways is equally as important to an individual’s career, and to the company as a whole. This presentation will help you to master the skill of Managing Up.

Takeaways:

  1. Why Managing Up is a right skill to have
  2. Common mistakes and how to avoid them
  3. How to understand and win over your manager (or any decision maker)
  4. Who can help you master the skill of Managing Up
