Managing Up: Get the Best from Your Relationship with Your Boss (or Board Chair)

You are, of course, the most important player when it comes to your own career success, what you accomplish in your work, and what your level of job satisfaction is along the way!

That said, your most important working relationship is the one you have with your immediate manager, Executive Director, or Board Chair. And there is a lot you can do at your end (of this relationship) to build and maintain it, to the benefit of both parties regardless of your leadership level in the organization.  After all, we all have someone to whom we are accountable.

This program will challenge you with a number of success strategies for your job and career, including how to…
  • Understand your manager’s, ED’s, or Chair’s preferred style, pressures faced, goals, and priorities
  • Determine what you want from your work (i.e. your current motivators)
  • Demonstrate leadership from your level
  • Express your ideas and needs clearly and assertively
  • Adopt an “accountability” mindset
  • Shape a positive “personal brand” where you work
  • Solicit feedback to increase your effectiveness and credibility
  • Manage your own job performance and work objectives
  • Benefit personally and professionally from performance discussions and appraisals
