Wellington Leadership Group: How to successfully 'Manage Up'

"Managing up" is a crucial professional skill that involves proactively nurturing a constructive and efficient working relationship with your manager. It's not about manipulation or being insubordinate, but rather about understanding your manager's goals, preferences, and challenges, and then aligning your work to help them succeed. This ultimately benefits you, your team, and the entire organization. BUT!!! How do you do it well, even with the most difficult demanding boss?

During this workshop Cillín Hearns will share the strategies you need to manage up well to ensure you:

• Improve your communication and understanding

• Enhance your and your team's performance and productivity

• Increase trust and build rapport

• Take advantage of career progression and opportunities

• Increase your job satisfaction and engagement
