Ep 152 - Why 'Managing Up' Needs to Be Your Priority This Quarter

Her Ambitious Career

Too many women avoid building relationships with their senior exec team, but why, when it is an absolute priority?
In this ep I am looking at what stops so many women from managing up and giving you some ideas that might help you think more optimistically(!) about managing up!

• The reasons you are currently AVOIDING managing up
• How building relationships at work needs to be a 360 exercise - up (to senior execs), across (to peers) and down (to the team you are managing)
• Two critical reasons why managing up authentically could fast track your career in 2025!

Let's reframe how you're thinking about managing up, to make it a whole lot easier to do!

Here's something valuable I said today:

"Managing up is about building trusting relationships with the people in the levels above you and overthinking and procrastination are all that is stopping you right now from building those vital relationships." (Rebecca Allen, host Her Ambitious Career)
