Managing upwards involves proactively managing your relationship with your manager and changing how you operate to achieve both goals.

This session will support you to:

  • Understand your manager's style and approach
  • Use tools to build an effective relationship with your manager
  • Effectively communicate and discuss your needs and ideas

As part of this activity, we offer a half-day workshop designed to allow delegates to reflect on their relationship with their managers and identify strategies for working more effectively together.

Objectives

As a result of the workshop, the delegates will be able to:

  • Identify how to manage and develop their relationship with their manager by getting to know their motivation, expectations, and preferences
  • Use a variety of strategies to support managers in achieving their goals whilst also achieving their own
  • Use a variety of strategies to manage common challenges in the relationship

We also suggest Coaching and Mentoring to support your development in building a powerful presence.
