Managing Multiple Bosses: The Art and Science of "Managing Up"

OVERVIEW

"Managing Up" is the way we describe working effectively with our boss. When you have more than one boss, this is not an option. Learn to use your talents and skills for managing multiple bosses. Enhance your skills and learn new ones, especially in communication to be more efficient, effective, and successful, overcoming challenges and getting the results all your bosses expect.

Most people find it challenging enough to work well with even ONE boss. If you're working with two bosses – or MORE – the challenge may seem insurmountable. Dealing with the workload is tough, but now you must manage multiple communications styles, sets of expectations, schedules, projects, and more. This can mean multiple headaches. Even if the "official” designation is 50% of your time for Mr. A. and 50% of your time for Ms. B., the reality is BOTH may act as if 100% of your time is devoted to them! Today, many businesses are organized so it is common to report to several different managers. For many professionals being assigned to 3 or more people is the rule rather than the exception. You can thrive in this new world and function successfully, effectively, and efficiently. Learn to manage up in a diplomatic, practical, and successful way, to get your work done and keep all your bosses satisfied.
