Managing Up

https://thinktalent.com.mt/web/image/product.template/166/image_1920?unique=e7468ad

A good, productive and communicative working relationship with the boss should enable the development of skills, knowledge and career. Mismanaging this relationship can create a manipulative relationship where office politics or personal style dominate and can lead to feelings that the protagonists are on opposing sides, or at least not on the same team. Managing Up enables participants to know what is possible and feasible, en route to achieving the results that matter. This programme exposes participants to powerful tools for effectively managing the relationship with their boss. Participants will discover techniques on how to construct a relationship of mutual trust, communicate properly, and identify any blockages to the relationship.
