Managing Up

Managing up does not have to feel mysterious or political—it can be a powerful leadership skill that transforms your day-to-day work. This facilitated session reimagines the supervisor relationship as a strategic partnership that advances both your career and your institution. Through real-world higher education scenarios, participants can learn to decode what their boss really cares about, adapt to changing communication styles, and use tools like the 3‑option rule and proactive check-ins to influence decisions with greater confidence.
