Document Summary
Managing down: building good relationships with subordinates, effectively directing activities, and influencing employees to accomplish goals. They fail to realize managing up is an equally important skill. Managing up is important because if you can"t develop a productive and satisfying work relationship with your boss, you work performance, commitment, and well-being will be limited. Managing up requires a different set of skills than managing down. You"ll be more successful if you learn to manage effectively both up and down the hierarchy. People like working for managers who have influence with their superiors because it helps them enhance their own status in the organization and helps them get what they need to do their jobs well. The boss needs you to manage up because people in higher organizational levels depends on subordinates for information, support, and assistance in accomplishing the organization"s goal. Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of managing their boss.
