What do you do if your boss doesn’t trust you? Or your team?
This may happen not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
Nowadays, hardly anyone who gets promoted into a manager role receives adequate training.
There’s hope. What you don’t have to do:
👉 Put up with constant gaslighting of your skills and abilities
👉 Allow your boss to take credit for your work
👉 Fulfill every last minute request by your manager
By learning how to “manage up” and keep your sanity, you can now:
👉 Position your work to meet your manager’s needs
👉 Utilize productivity tools to assist yourself, your team, and your manager
👉 Gain visibility that will help you act strategically and benefit your career
Real leadership is acting like a leader before you have the title.
Understanding how your manager is struggling will allow you to act strategically.
Teaching your manager that the team’s success will reflect on her success, will help shift the dynamic of the entire team.
People outside your manager will see your efforts, and your reward may come in surprising ways at surprising times.
Here’s what’s in store:
Develop awareness using yourself and your surroundings
Understand the “meta-message” of what your boss is saying
Practice asking your manager pointed questions to get at what’s bothering her
Create and position your work to meet your manager’s needs
Remain authentic and keep your sanity through this process.

In the Monday Un-Madness session: “Managing Up: Managing Sanity”, we’ll take the hour to practice building awareness and observation, how to discover your manager’s primary concerns, how to position your work to meet their concerns, and how to remain sane and authentic through the process. Becoming compassionate to your manager’s needs doesn’t have to require sacrificing yourself. And, by helping your manager learn more about your team and how to better manage your team, you’re taking an active role in developing the kind of work environment you really want. This is a hugely effective way to prevent and overcome burnout. Join the webinar, and learn how to become a “coach” to your manager without them even knowing it!
