Your manager isn’t omniscient. They’re guessing, same as you, but with bigger stakes and a fuller calendar. Done right, managing up gives your boss clarity and you cover. Everybody wins.
These tools help you to adapt, align and influence.
Adapt: Learn how to work with them, not against them.
Align: Sync on what matters so you’re pulling in the same direction.
Influence: Nudge better decisions without losing your head.
