IPMA: Managing Up
February 5, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 10:30 am
Effective Communication – Managing Up!
Effective communication in the workplace can be one of our biggest challenges. Communication can be even more tricky when it comes to our manager or boss. Mastering the skill of managing up is exactly what must be done to excel in any organization, even if it seems unnatural to manage those above you in the top-down world of business.
In the world of work, there will always be “a boss.” Someone will always be above you; someone you need to go to for resources. They may be your manager in the hierarchy of your organization, an outside customer, or even a Board. They can help you succeed, or they can stand in the way of your success.
During this session we will touch on five tips to help you build and maintain the crucial employee-manager relationship, which can open the door to achievement, accomplishment, and personal success in your workplace.
